The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has called on the Joint Action Committee (JAAC) to cease ongoing protests and has requested the Election Commission of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) to reconsider the announced schedule for upcoming elections. The PPP’s appeal follows widespread demonstrations against proposed changes to the electoral process, specifically regarding the status of refugees. JAAC is demanding the withdrawal of the election schedule, citing concerns over fair representation and the potential disenfranchisement of residents. PPP leaders argue that continued protests could further destabilize the region and hinder preparations for a free and fair election. They suggest dialogue between JAAC, the government, and the Election Commission to address the grievances. The party expressed fears that delaying the elections indefinitely could create further unrest. The AJK election commission has yet to respond to the PPP’s request.
