ISLAMABAD: Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said on Wednesday that Prime Minister Imran Khan would soon visit Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) in his position as chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) to oversee the party’s election campaign.
“He (the Prime Minister) will speak at a public gathering. The prime minister has the right to travel there (AJK). He would travel there as the chairman of the PTI, not as the prime minister,” the information minister stated in answer to a question during a press conference on Wednesday.
He responded to a reporter’s query on how the prime minister could lead the election campaign in Azad Kashmir by saying, “If the PTI chairman would not have a public meeting there (AJK), then we will invite another media owner to go and do a public meeting.”
According to the minister, the PTI chairman has the power to conduct the election campaign for the party’s candidates in AJK.
