Six separate notices were issued to Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider by the AJK Legislative Assembly's Secretariat on Friday asking him to appear before the Speaker of the AJK Assembly on August 28 to explain comments he made on July 29.
The notices were issued after opposition leaders filed references demanding Farooq's resignation for saying that he will have to have to "reconsider" if he wanted to "annex his fate with Pakistan" following the ouster of PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif from the prime minister's office. Haider belongs to the same party as Sharif.
“A reference has been submitted to the Legislative Assembly Speaker by Chaudhry Muhammad Yasin, leader of the opposition, under Section 25(2) of the AJK Interim Constitution Act, read with Section 5(2) of the AJK Legislative Assembly (Election) Ordinance 1970 […] You, Raja Muhammad Farooq Haider, Member Legislative Assembly (MLA) from LA-28, Muzaffarabad-V, are hereby informed to appear in person before the Speaker in his chamber at 1pm on Aug 28, 2017 to present clarifications on [your comments] along with documentary evidence,” read one of the notices, signed by Special Secretary Tariq Zia Abbasi.
