ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: President Dr. Arif Alvi has said that the President House, in coordination and consultation with the Ministry of Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit Baltistan, is planning to invite members of the Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Legislative Assembly and other political representatives of the State to discuss and highlight the atrocities being committed by the Indian government against the innocent Muslims of the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
The president expressed these views while talking to the Prime Minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Sardar Tanveer Ilyas Khan who called on him at Aiwan-e-Sadr in Islamabad on Thursday.
