"It was shocking to hear such a statement coming from the PM of AJK. His loyalty should be to Pakistan and the people of AJK. Questioning AJK’s allegiance to Pakistan over partisan loyalty to the PML-N is unacceptable," the PPPP vice-president said.

Proves that: It is a case of forced loyalty. The people are comparing with the Indian counterpart and realizing the misfortune to be with Pakistan. India will welcome the people of AJK with open arms. Their lives will be much easier and better with India. Sooner or later this realization had to come.
