PTI's PM candidate Sheikh Rashid is a eunuch: AJK PM

Says he won't accept Imran Khan's Pakistan as he believes in the Quaid-e-Azam's Pakistan

Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider said on Monday that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf had selected a eunuch (Sheikh Rashid) as its candidate for the PM's slot.

Addressing a press conference, the AJK PM reiterated that he had never said Kashmiris were considering not remaining with Pakistan after Nawaz Sharif’s disqualification.

"Pakistan is my country and nobody can doubt my love for the country and loyalty to it," he added.

"But I won't accept Imran Khan's Pakistan. I believe in the Quaid-e-Azam's Pakistan."

Haider said he had earlier been quoted out of context and he was hurt by people doubting his loyalty to Pakistan.



"The entire Pakistan is Kashmir and all of Kashmir is Pakistan," he remarked.

The AJK PM said he did not wish that a trend of disqualifications over Article 62 of the Constitution starts otherwise Imran Khan and Jahangir Tareen would the next to go.

Haider, while addressing a joint press conference with Gilgit-Baltistan Chief Minister Hafiz Hafeezur Rehman, was quoted by a newspaper as saying that the "AJK people would think now to which country they should make annexation to".
