Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice-President Maryam Nawaz Sharif on Friday alleged that Prime Minister Imran Khan was contemplating slicing Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) after throwing occupied Kashmir into India’s pouch.

Speaking at an election rally in Patikka, some 18kms towards northwest of Muzaffarabad, she reiterated her previous allegations that the prime minister had sold out the “blood and honour” of Kashmiri brothers and sisters and was out to take over AJK instead of the India occupied territory.
