He expressed these views at a press conference at Jammu and Kashmir House here. Cabinet Ministers Zafar Malik, Azhar Sadiq, Nisar Ansar Abdali, Akmal Sargala and Special Assistant Muhammad Iqbal were also present on the occasion.

At this critical time, he said, “Entire Kashmiri nation stands firm with its beloved leader”.Regretting the timing and motive of the move, he said that it was unfortunate that the no-trust motion against Prime Minister, Imran Khan was moved at a crucial time when Pakistan was hosting an important OIC foreign minister’s conference in Islamabad.
The move, he said, was tantamount to pushing the country into a quagmire of political uncertainty and chaos. “Prime minister Imran Khan has laid the foundation of an independent foreign policy by visiting the most important regional countries like China and Russia”, he said adding that along with other countries, Pakistan had established strong relations with brotherly countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iran and Turkey.
“The opposition’s sole agenda is to destabilize the country”, he said adding the opposition would miserably fail in its attempts to dislodge the Prime Minister Imran Khan as the days of Murree and Changa-Manga politics had gone.
The AJK PM said that the people of Kashmir owed gratitude to Prime Minister Imran Khan for taking a historic stand on the issue of Kashmir at international level.
He said that Imran Khan was the most popular leader in the country.
“Peoples’ participation in public rallies held at Melsi, Hafizabad and Lower Dir are reflective of Imran Khan’s popularity,” he added.
Replying to query, he said, “A strong and stable Pakistan would strengthen the Kashmir case both at national as well as international level”.
Responding to another query, the PM Niazi said, “I am not a person who could be scared by those who whisper, by the grace of God, I am a person with strong nerves.”
He said, “Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain is a seasoned politician. I hope he will soon give good news keeping in view the bright future of Pakistan”.
Regarding Sardar Tanveer Ilyas, the PM said, “he is the president of the party, our destination is one under the leadership of Imran Khan”.
