A former AJK prime minister, People's Muslim League president, Sultan Mehmood, has said that four PML MLAs did not take oath in the (AJK) Legislative Assembly as protest against the massive rigging and interference by Pakistan government in AJK affairs.
This he said at a press conference, along with JKPP president, Khalid Ibrahim, here on Monday. Sultan said that the AJK government was formed earlier in the day, "which is the blackest day" in the political history of Azad Kashmir. He said that the MLAs did not take oath in protest against the rigging in the July 11 polls. He said that Pakistan PML President Shujaat Hussain himself distributed Muslim Conference tickets among his favourite candidates, and President General Pervez Musharraf invited the MC leadership for a special meeting. All these acts, he said, amounted to pre-poll rigging. The Pakistan government openly favoured the Muslim Conference, he added.
He said that now the Kashmir issue is at a crucial stage and a person has been made prime minister of the base camp of Azad Kashmir who has controversial ideas about the Kashmir dispute. Sultan said that he has also invited the chief minister of occupied Kashmir, which has further increased the public doubts about the new prime minister.
The JKPP president, Khalid Ibrahim, said that his party recognises Attique as constitutional prime minister because he has majority in the Legislative Assembly.
