MUZAFFARABAD: Reposing full faith in the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan in the wake of a resolution for a vote of no confidence against him, the Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) cabinet on Thursday predicted that opposition’s move to “escape accountability and salvage ill-gotten wealth” would fall flat.

“The opposition parties are trying to pressurise Prime Minister Imran Khan into granting them NRO,” said the cabinet at an exhaustive meeting, presided over by Prime Minister Sardar Abdul Qayyum Niazi.

AJK’s senior minister Sardar Tanveer Ilyas was also in attendance.

“But their [opposition’s] blackmailing in the name of a vote of no confidence will fall through and Prime Minister Imran Khan will remain unbeaten,” added the cabinet in a unanimously adopted resolution.

It claimed that the people and their representative forums [assemblies] in Pakistan as well as in AJK and Gilgit-Baltistan stood behind PM Khan “like a solid rock”.

The cabinet maintained that the way PM Khan had spoken up for the just cause of Kashmiris at all international forums as their ambassador had no parallel in the country’s history.
