Скачать или смотреть AJK Govt in Crisis Again: Cabinet Shock, Broken Promises & Farooq–Anwar Face-Off

Azad Kashmir’s political landscape has entered another turbulent phase just days after the formation of the new government under Prime Minister Faisal Mumtaz Rathore. The first cabinet meeting sparked controversy across the region as ministries were distributed in a way that ignited new debates, revived old rivalries, and raised fresh questions about the agreement with the Joint Awami Action Committee (JKJAC).

Several ministers were reappointed to their old posts — such as Zia-ul-Qamar from Bagh, who retained the Communications Ministry — while others were sidelined entirely. Migrant representatives were not included in the meeting, and even senior figures like Finance Minister Majid Khan were reportedly excluded. Faisal Mumtaz Rathore kept multiple major portfolios with himself, further fueling internal tensions inside PPP and raising doubts about how this government will function in the limited time it has before the next elections.

What shook the political circles even more is the growing suspicion that the agreement signed with the Action Committee — the same agreement that paused the massive protest movement planned for 29 September — has already been violated. According to critics, the number of ministers exceeds what was promised. However, JKJAC leader Shaukat Nawaz Mir stated that “no violation has taken place yet,” but warned that any breach of the agreement would allow the committee to return to the streets without hesitation.

The situation escalated dramatically when former Prime Ministers Raja Farooq Haider Khan and Chaudhry Anwar-ul-Haq came face-to-face. Farooq Haider criticized the new cabinet sharply, stating that “18 ministers include 9 turncoats, and among the 2 advisors, one advisor is also a turncoat.” In response, Anwar-ul-Haq gave a sarcastic reply, raising his thumb and reminding Farooq Haider that it was his own party that voted in the no-confidence motion against him. “You voted for it — now deal with it,” he said in a pointed remark that instantly went viral.

This tension builds on the political chaos that has been unfolding for weeks. PPP’s internal divisions, PML-N’s criticism of the new government, PTI’s aggressive stance after the fall of Anwar-ul-Haq, and the Action Committee’s repeated warnings have all created a volatile environment. Meanwhile, questions still linger about the late-night meetings in Kashmir House Islamabad, the shifting loyalties, and the sudden momentum that led to Faisal Mumtaz Rathore becoming the new Prime Minister.

With disagreements inside PPP, pressure from the Action Committee, media frustration over limited access to the assembly proceedings, and public anger over rising ministerial numbers — the new government finds itself in a race against time. Can it deliver? Or will Kashmir’s politics face yet another storm?
