Spat between two PMs

It was interesting to witness the Spat between two PMs during functions that appeared on TV screens during which Shehbaz Sharif was seen irritatingly trying to make Sardar Tanveer Ilyas, PM of AJK sit down who was bent upon interfering in his speech. PM Shehbaz Sharif was addressing the inaugural ceremony of the refurbishment project of Units 5 and 6 of the Mangla Dam Hydroelectric Power Plant. Though the TV screen did not show the aggressive interference of PM AJK as he was heard in the background complaining to Shehbaz Sharif about not making a mention of the sacrifices of the people of AJK. Though Shehbaz’s irritation was visible but he also displayed tremendous sheepishness as after muttering that about Azad Kashmir he will talk to AJKPM, Shehbaz wrapped up his speech in 20 seconds and abruptly left the venue. AJKPM later alleged that the behaviour of Shehbaz Sharif spoke volumes about his irascibility and that he had ridiculed the entire Kashmiri nation by not mentioning their sacrifices for the progress and prosperity of Pakistan. AJKPM owns the prestigious Centaurus Mall in Islamabad and it may just be a coincidence that it was resealed for business after this incident. TW
