Addressing an election rally in LA-3 Mirpur City, Bilawal claimed the PML-N wanted to amend the Constitution so that Pakistan s prime minister could appoint the AJK premier.
"They want a citizen of Raiwind who has served as prime minister three times to also become the premier of AJK," Bilawal said.
His remarks came a day after PML-N President Nawaz Sharif jokingly told an election rally that if his party won the upcoming AJK elections, he would ask Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to appoint him as the prime minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
Polling for the AJK Legislative Assembly will be held in three phases, with voting scheduled in Mirpur Division on July 27, Muzaffarabad Division on August 2 and Poonch Division on August 10.
Calling the upcoming vote one of the most significant elections in the region s history, Bilawal said the future of Azad Kashmir was closely linked to the outcome of the polls.
"This election in AJK is not just a general election but perhaps the most important election in history. The future of AJK is linked to these polls," he said.
Highlighting the PPP s political legacy, Bilawal said former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto had given Pakistan its unanimous Constitution, while President Asif Ali Zardari strengthened provincial autonomy through the 18th Constitutional Amendment.
He urged voters to support the PPP, saying his party wanted to ensure that the people of Azad Kashmir enjoyed the same rights as citizens in the rest of Pakistan.
"I want to give the people of AJK the rights that the people of Pakistan have," he said.
Criticising the PML-N, Bilawal said those who believed the 12 refugee seats of Azad Kashmir were already in their control would ultimately do an injustice to the people.
He also said refugees should have the right to vote and contest elections but maintained that the future of Azad Kashmir should be decided by the people living in the region.
Referring to the ongoing protests in Azad Kashmir, Bilawal reiterated his demand for the establishment of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
He also criticised the suspension of internet and cellular services, saying both the protesters and the state were "punishing" ordinary citizens.
Responding to recent criticism by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz regarding the performance of the PPP-led Sindh government, Bilawal dismissed the PML-N s development claims.
"They talk as if rivers of milk and honey are flowing throughout Punjab," he said.
Mocking the PML-N leadership, Bilawal added that the party viewed only Raiwind as Punjab and questioned whether its leaders had ever visited underdeveloped areas such as Cholistan, Pothohar, Rajanpur, Vehari and Dera Ghazi Khan.
