LAHORE: Chief Minister Usman Buzdar says the opposition parties have done nothing for the Kashmiri people except raising hollow slogans.

He said the well-aware and sensible people of Azad Kashmir would give their decision in favour of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf.

In a statement issued here on Saturday, the chief minister said the elements who looted the country had never spoken openly on the Kashmir issue and always safeguarded their vested interests. He said these elements were now bound to see defeat in the Azad Kashmir elections.

Mr Buzdar said the Kashmiris would not be hoodwinked by the opposition and would make the PTI candidates successful, adding that election security deposits of those promoting Modi’s narrative would be confiscated. He said Prime Minister Imran Khan had raised voice against the Indian oppression on Kashmiris.
