MUZAFFARABAD, July 5: The 14-member parliamentary opposition in Azad Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday reached a unanimous decision to boot out Sardar Attique Khan-led Muslim Conference government at all costs for its “unpardonable acts of corruption, nepotism, violation of law, rules and merit.”

The decision was taken at an exclusive meeting which lasted for nearly five hours at an unspecified location in Islamabad.

A four-member committee was formed on the occasion to prepare a charge sheet against the government, besides devising other courses of action in this regard.

The committee, sources told Dawn, was also assigned to make “inroads” in the ruling party to garner maximum support of “like-minded lawmakers” for an in-house change.

Participants at the meeting were hopeful of getting “required support” from within the ruling party, said to be facing internal differences, which partially became visible in the recent budget session boycotted by the entire opposition.

Sources said since the federal government was also a key player in AJK, responsibility to obtain a “no objection certificate” for an in-house change in the region rested mainly on its AJK branch - PPAJK, which was also the largest constituent of the opposition.

It was also decided that mass public meetings would be held at the divisional headquarters in AJK in the ongoing month to make the “corrupt practices of government” a focus of public attention.

The committee was asked to mobilise local cadres of all the four parties and also those which did not have representation in the assembly for the public meetings and work out a code of conduct for it.
