Nov 19, 2025

PoJK, 19 November 2025: Political activist Amjad Ayub Mirza has slammed the appointment of Faisal Mumtaz Rathore as the new Prime Minister of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, calling it a “scam” and proof of a collapsed political process. He alleged Rathore was linked to a 2013 gang rape case in Muzaffarabad, claiming the case was buried and evidence had disappeared. Mirza also questioned the legitimacy of Rathore’s election, alleging that refugee seat holders were improperly allowed to vote despite clear objections by the Joint Awami Action Committee.
