Pakistan People's Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari while addressing party ticket holders and officials in Muzaffarabad has welcomed the willingness of the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) to hold talks with the PPP Proposed Commission.

This political development is being considered as an important step to reduce the tension in the Azad Jammu and Kashmir region. The purpose of this dialogue is to bridge the gap between local protesters and state institutions.

Announcement of political strategy in Muzaffarabad

Addressing the workers in Muzaffarabad on July 15, 2026, Bilawal emphasized that regular negotiations are the only solution to the problems. The JAAC has in the past led strong protests across the region over electricity tariffs and prices of basic food items.

The PPP leadership wants to end the public unrest by introducing an institutional mechanism through a special commission. According to party sources, this proposed body will systematically review public grievances instead of finding a temporary solution.

Objectives and Objectives of the Commission

Common citizens in Azad Kashmir have always had complaints about expensive electricity and wheat subsidy issues. The proposed commission will seek direct solutions to all these structural problems:

  • Develop a transparent process for subsidy distribution
  • Reviewing electricity generation and billing rates in local districts
  • Creating a direct communication system between the protestors and Islamabad

In Muzaffarabad, Mirpur and Rawalkot, the common people are suffering due to inflation, which has necessitated administrative reforms.

What should you do now?

If you are a resident of Azad Kashmir, keep an eye on reliable news sources to keep up to date with the dates of the commission's meetings. Don't pay heed to rumors on social media as formal talks between JAAC and political leaders are about to begin.

What to look forward to

Stay tuned for the announcements of the final composition of the proposed commission by Bilawal House. It will be clear in the coming weeks when the JAAC announces its negotiating team and how the parties agree on a charter of demands.
