Overview

  • The high‑level team includes the AJK prime minister, Rana Sanaullah, Tariq Fazal Chaudhry, Ahsan Iqbal, Sardar Yousaf, Raja Pervaiz Ashraf and Qamar Zaman Kaira.
  • Tariq Fazal Chaudhry said 12 hours of earlier talks produced agreement on most points, including withdrawing protest‑related cases and steps on electricity and wheat.
  • Two politically sensitive demands require changes to AJK’s constitution, with officials citing proposals to end refugee‑seat allocations and reduce the number of ministers.
  • Authorities condemned violence and urged demonstrators to remain peaceful as negotiations proceed in Muzaffarabad, pledging implementation of legitimate demands.
  • Officials confirmed three police officers were killed in the unrest; separate reporting cited six total deaths and at least 72 police injured, with broader injury figures still being reconciled.
