ISLAMABAD: The ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has contacted the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) through back channels to form a government in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), sources reported.
Sources said that the federal government offered the PPP a partnership in the AJK government along with important posts.
The PML-N offered the presidency of AJK and the role of deputy speaker of the legislative assembly.
On the other hand, the PPP has categorically rejected the ruling party’s offer.

Furthermore, the PPP will field its candidates for the slots of AJK Prime Minister, speaker, and deputy speaker.

The PML-N failed to follow the points agreed upon during the Muzaffarabad talks, according to PPP sources.
