Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Prime Minister Faisal Mumtaz Rathore has said that the government will no longer hold talks with those who spread chaos under the guise of politics.
His statement came a day after the AJK government declared the Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) a proscribed organisation under anti-terrorism laws ahead of the group’s planned protest on June 9.
Without naming anyone, PM Rathore said the elements involved in sit-ins, arson and riots are supporters of the banned TTP.
The AJK premier further said that he was a witness to all the negotiations held with the now-banned JAAC in the past. “The non-political and non-parliamentary group refused to come to the negotiating table despite repeated efforts,” he added.
