'Azad Kashmir Is as Dear to Me as Punjab': Nawaz Sharif Kicks Off Election Campaign

On Tuesday, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz President Nawaz Sharif promised a 10-fold increase in Azad Jammu and Kashmir's budget during a Muzaffarabad rally, pledging major infrastructure projects if his party wins upcoming elections.
Sharif aims to replicate Punjab's development models in AJK, emphasizing that the region's destiny would change under a PML-N government led by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz.
Maryam Nawaz announced 10 electric green buses for Muzaffarabad, 15 'hospitals on wheels' for remote healthcare access, and 2,000 scholarships with laptops for youth across AJK.
Sharif pledged to visit AJK every three months to personally monitor development work, declaring 'Azad Kashmir is my second home' and promising to resolve residents' problems.
The rally kicked off the PML-N's campaign ahead of July 27 legislative assembly elections, with party leaders urging voters to support their development platform over the incumbent administration.
