Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Central Spokesperson Fayyazul Hassan Chohan on Wednesday registered a case with Islamabad police after allegedly receiving death threats following his criticism of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Prime Minister Farooq Haider's controversial "anti-Pakistan" statement last week.

PML-N's Haider allegedly said on Saturday: "He [PTI Chairman Imran Khan] said that I am going to build the Pakistan of Quaid-e-Azam and Allama Iqbal... Is [what we see today] the Pakistan of Quaid-e-Azam and Allama Iqbal?" he asked, a day after the Supreme Court judgement on the Panama Papers case against ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif.

The AJK PM was quoted as allegedly saying: "If this is the Pakistan that Quaid-e-Azam and Allama Iqbal [dreamed of], I will have to ponder, as a Kashmiri, whether I should annex my fate with [this country]."

Chohan, in a First Information Report (FIR) lodged at the Sadiqabad police station, claimed to have received threatening phone calls and text messages from four different phone numbers after he criticised Haider's "anti-Pakistan" statement during a television talkshow.

He alleged that associates of the AJK PM were threatening to kill him.

The Investigation Officer of the case, Assistant Superintendent Akhtar Ali told DawnNews that case number 695 was filed under the Telegraph Act, and the whereabouts of the suspects were being investigated.

The AJK PM later distanced himself from his earlier remarks, saying he had been quoted out of context.

"The future of Kashmir is linked with Pakistan’s prosperity. I condemn the way my Saturday’s press conference was presented. I had addressed the conference as a Kashmiri," he said. "Kashmiris do not have any option other than Pakistan and have been trying to become a part of the country for last 70 years," he said.
