The spokesman made it clear that a stern action would be taken against all those who were involved in this incident.
Muzaffarabad: The spokesperson of the home department of Azad Kashmir government has strongly condemned the Indian media’s attempt to defame Pakistan and Azad Kashmir by giving communal colour to the unpleasant incident at KFC Mirpur.
“The incident is of a personal nature and has nothing to do with extremism or any other issue”, the spokesman said, adding that the Indian media was in the habit of making a mountain out of a molehill.
Referring to the KFC owner’s contention on the issue, the spokesman said that according to the owner the attackers stormed the food chain due to a long-standing dispute, which caused a loss of lakhs of rupees.
He said that after registering the FIR crackdown has been launched to nab the accused involved in this incident.
Terming Azad Kashmir as the most peaceful region, the spokesman further said that the liberated territory offers a favorable and business-friendly environment for investors.

“These international business outlets have been hugely contributing to the region’s local economy”, he said, adding that the law and order situation in Azad Kashmir was also ideal for foreign investment.
