Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) supremo Maulana Fazlur Rehman Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that the issue of 12 seats for refugees is constitutional and political in nature, and should be resolved through negotiations.
Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari met on Tuesday. The meeting discussed the current situation in Azad Jammu and Kashmir and consultations regarding elections in the region.
He said that those demanding the abolition of the seats should present arguments and engage in political dialogue, adding that there is no justification for taking up force or causing loss of life in protest.
