PoK PM Faisal Mumtaz Rathore slammed Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif after he questioned Kashmiri identity of people from Rawalakot and Mirpur. "People of J&K do not need [your] validation," Rathore wrote. "He's covering up by finding faults in Azad J&K's governance...Ask your higher-ups and they'll tell you how well we've governed," he added, saying Asif should apologise.
