Chaudhry Anwar calls India’s Kashmir elections a sham, insists on UN plebiscite

MUZAFFARABAD: Azad Jammu and Kashmir Prime Minister, Chaudhry Anwar ul Haq, has unequivocally rejected India’s announcement to hold elections in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), describing it as a mere facade to mislead the international community.

In a forthright statement, he argued that such elections could not substitute the plebiscite promised by the United Nations, which he asserted is the only legitimate method to resolve the region’s future.

Following India’s revocation of the region’s special status and the issuance of what he termed ‘fake domicile certificates’ to millions of non-residents, the AJK Prime Minister accused India of attempting to obscure the truth by organizing these elections.

He further declared that the tactics employed by India would not deter the Kashmiri people, who remain steadfast in their struggle for self-determination, a right upheld by United Nations Security Council resolutions.
