The PML-N leadership met with newly elected AJK Prime Minister Syed Iftikhar Ali Gillani, emphasizing the urgent need to resolve issues faced by the Kashmiri people. The meeting, attended by PML-N President Nawaz Sharif, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, and AJK Legislative Assembly Speaker Chaudhry Tariq Farooq, resulted in a reform plan for Gillani's 100-day tenure, focusing on improving health, education, cleanliness, infrastructure, and other sectors.
Gillani and Farooq expressed gratitude for the party's support, while the latter congratulated them. Earlier, Gillani had assured the business community and students that his government would restore internet services and remove restrictions on road links with neighboring regions within days. AJK has been experiencing protests, particularly in Rawalakot, over demands for abolishing reserved seats for families displaced from occupied Kashmir, leading to the postponement of the elections originally scheduled for July 27.
