F.P. Report

KOTLI: Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider Khan has said Modi’s extremist and racist policies are a perpetual security threat to South Asia.

Addressing oath taking ceremony of District Bar Kotli here on Monday, he said resolution of the longstanding Kashmir issue through peaceful means is inevitable for lasting peace in the region.

The Prime Minister appealed international community to stop India from changing demography of the Occupied Kashmir.

Raja Farooq Haider asked lawyers to become voice for the oppressed people of Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and highlight the plight of Kashmiris at all available forums.

“Through 13th Amendment which empowered the AJK Legislative Assembly, I have achieved the purpose of my life. Our government not only enhanced the strength of the judges in apex judiciary but also appointed the permanent judges in High and Supreme Courts”, Haider added.

The Prime Minister while directing the up-gradation of sewerage and water supply system in the city said that all requisite funds would be provided to the Municipal Corporation and Kotli Development Authority for the cleanliness and proper sanitation system in the city.
