Tehreek-e-Insaf says that Azad Kashmir is currently going through a severe crisis. Thousands of citizens are sitting on dharna in different areas including Rawalakot in support of their legitimate demands. The supply of food items to Azad Kashmir from Punjab is also completely stopped. Instead of pushing the Kashmiri people towards further political instability, an immediate solution should be found to the problems.
