Islamabad (Lord Media): Defense Minister Khawaja Asif emphasized the need for resolving the ongoing protests in Azad Kashmir through dialogue, asserting that the Kashmir issue will not be weakened.

He criticized PTI for not participating in national issues or legislation.<\/p>\n
Asif stated that if any party or individual disrespects the House, it will harm everyone. He urged for protests without disrupting parliamentary proceedings.
