PPP Resolution Against AJK Elections: Party Moves High Court Over PML-N Government

AJK – (Staff Reporter/Web Desk) – The PPP resolution against AJK elections has stirred fresh tension in Azad Jammu and Kashmir’s political circle. On Wednesday, the Pakistan People’s Party announced it will knock on the doors of the Azad Jammu and Kashmir High Court. The move comes as the party pushes back against the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s plan to form a government in the region. Party leaders say the fight is far from over.

A Special Meeting Sets the Tone

The decision came out of a special sitting of the PPP’s Parliamentary Committee. MNA Faryal Talpur led the session, where senior members discussed the party’s next moves. The room was united on one point: PML-N should not have an easy path to power in AJK.

Talpur’s team made it clear that the party plans to create hurdles for PML-N at every step. This isn’t just political noise. The PPP is preparing to back its words with legal action.

According to sources close to the meeting, PPP will soon file a formal petition. The goal is simple — halt the government formation process until certain concerns are addressed. The party’s legal team has already received instructions to draft and submit the petition without delay.

This step shows how serious the PPP is about contesting the current setup. Court battles like this often stretch on for weeks, and this one may be no different.

Repolling Demand in Five Seats

At the heart of the dispute lies a repolling demand. The PPP wants fresh voting in three constituencies within Kotli and two in Muzaffarabad. Party representatives argue that the original polling process in these areas didn’t follow constitutional rules.

They claim the irregularities were serious enough to affect the final outcome. Whether the court agrees remains to be seen, but the demand has already added fuel to an already heated political atmosphere.

One name missing from the meeting stood out. Azad Jammu and Kashmir’s Prime Minister, Faisal Rathore, did not attend the session. His absence has raised a few eyebrows, though no official reason has been shared publicly.

Some observers say this gap in attendance hints at deeper rifts within the region’s political landscape. Others believe it was simply a scheduling issue. Either way, his non-appearance added an extra layer of intrigue to an already tense gathering.

Resolution Passed Unanimously

Beyond the court plans, the committee also passed a resolution. Every member present voted against the recent general elections held in Azad Jammu and Kashmir. This unified stand signals that the PPP isn’t backing down anytime soon.

All eyes are now on the Azad Jammu and Kashmir High Court. Once the petition is filed, the court will decide whether to pause the government formation process. Until then, both PPP and PML-N supporters are likely to keep the political temperature high.

For now, one thing is certain — the battle for AJK’s next government is far from settled, and legal proceedings could shape the outcome in the coming days.
