He said the Hurriyat Leadership of Azad Kashmir also acknowledged the efforts of Prime Minister Imran Khan for internationalizing the Kashmir issue in befitting way. Pakistan Tahreek-e Insaf (PTI) government had released record funds for the development of AJK, besides provision of health card to the locals, the minister said. He condemned the opposition for politicising Kulbhushan Jadhav case in the House where the legislation underway to implement the decision of International Court of Justice. The opposition statements showed their priorities in the matters of national interest, he added. “Bilawal should condemn his uncle Nawaz Sharif who never ever spoke and mentioned the name of Kulbhushan in his entire tenure,”he noted.
