Former AJK PM Niazi calls on Imran Khan
Pakistan
Meeting held after AJK High Court Tuesday disqualified Prime Minister Tanveer Ilyas Khan
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan called on former Prime Minister (PM) Abdul Qayyum Niazi to elect him as the new PM of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK).
AJK's former PM Abdul Qayyum Niazi arrived at Zaman Park to meet Imran Khan who issued important instructions to him during the session.
Important Kashmiri leaders including MLA Ghulam Mohayyuddin Dewan were also present in the meeting held at Zaman Park.
Moreover, important consultations were made on the selection of the new Prime Minister of Azad Kashmir.
It is to be recalled that the AJK High Court on Tuesday disqualified AJK Prime Minister Tanveer Ilyas Khan from holding any public office after he was found guilty of contempt of court.
A full bench announced the verdict in a contempt notice taken after he criticised the stay orders issued by the court at a public meeting. Earlier in the day, the premier appeared before the court and tendered his unconditional apology over using contemptuous remarks against the judiciary.
However, the bench turned down his apology and disqualified him as AJK prime minister and revoked his membership of the AJK assembly. He is the first AJK prime minister to have been sent packing by court.
