AJK cabinet condemns Nawaz remarks

The AJK cabinet in its meeting here on Saturday under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Abdul Majeed Chaudhry unanimously condemned PML–N President Mian Nawaz Sharif’s alleged objectionable remarks vis-a-vis “Two Nation Theory” in a recent Lahore SAFMA event that drew criticism from other public quarters as well. An official handout issued after the cabinet meeting termed the alleged Mian remarks “a conspiracy against democracy and democratic norms” describing it “against the constitution of Pakistan, charter of democracy and a betrayal of Kashmir cause.”

Via another resolution the cabinet asked Mian Nawaz Sharif to respect the mandate of the people of Pakistan and wait for the elections till the completion of the tenure (of the present Pakistan government) in accordance with the dictates of the constitution. However it was appreciative of a reported statement by Editor-in-Chief of Daily Nawa-e-waqt, Mr Majeed Nizami “condemning” Mian Nawaz Sharif remarks to SAFMA on “Two Nation’s Theory”.
