Social Media Users Dumbfounded As Punjab Police Book AJK PM On Sedition Charges

Social media users have denounced Punjab Police's decision to register a sedition case against Azad Jammu Kashmir Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider, saying the decision has made a mockery of Pakistan's stance on Kashmir.

On Monday, Shahdara police registered an FIR against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, three former army generals, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider, as well as over a dozen other Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) loyalists for conspiring against the state.

Reacting to the FIR, the AJK prime minister said his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi “must be feeling elated”.
