ISLAMABAD:
President of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) chapter Chaudhry Muhammad Yasin called on party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari and former president Asif Ali Zardari at Zardari House in Islamabad.
The three leaders discussed the long march against the PTI government, current situation of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) and AJK local bodies elections, which scheduled to be held on July 25.
According to an official statement, Yasin said that the long march announced by chairman Bilawal is the “need of hour to put Pakistan on the path of national integration”.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government has failed to give any relief to the masses, he said. “Unemployment is touching its peak and collectively Pakistan's economy is on the verge of collapse.”

Yasin went on to say that it is only the PPP that can bring the country out of present economic crisis and “February 27 long march will be the last nail in the coffin of Imran Khan-led government that has made the lives of common people hell”.
He said people from all 10 districts of AJK will join the long march to oust the incumbent government. "We also discussed IIOJK current situation and the PPP central leadership assured all kind of support to the IIOJK people in their fight of right to self-determination.”
Both chairman Bilawal and co-chairman Zardari condemned the continued arrests of All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) leaders in Srinagar and urged the world community to take the notice of rising human rights violations in IIOJK, the PPP AJK president added.
During the meeting, it was also decided to encourage youth and committed workers of PPP in the local body polls aimed to infuse young blood into the party across AJK.
