President Zardari wants to resolve issues in AJK through dialogue

President Asif Ali Zardari emphasized the importance of restraint and dialogue in resolving the issues in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) during a meeting with members of the AJK Legislative Assembly affiliated with the Pakistan People’s Party Parliamentarians (PPPP).

He urged all stakeholders, including political parties, state institutions, and the people of AJK, to act responsibly to prevent the exploitation of the situation by hostile elements.

He also offered condolences over the unfortunate death of the police officer and prayed for swift recovery of all those who were injured in recent clashes.
