PML-N leader and Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) Atta Tarar has lashed out at the Prime Minister of Azad Kashmir (AJK PM) Sardar Tanveer Illyas for countering Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
While addressing a press conference, Atta Tarar said that the AJK PM was politically inexperienced and lasted as the Prime Minister for nine months because he is the owner of Centaurus Mall and has a strong financial background. He also accused the AJK PM of sending gifts to PTI Chairman Imran Khan and bribing him.
Criticizing the politics of AJK PM, Atta Tarar said Sardar Tanveer Illyas was the highest bidder, hence he became the Prime Minister.
