This is the beauty of electoral politics that there are many factors at play at the same time.There have been no election rigging in GB this time.. PTI was facing challenges due to lack of singular election symbol, but even then the most popular party in GB is PPP by far especially in Shia majority areas... To give you a idea of how much Shia vote matters to PPP in GB is that in GBA-02 Shia voted for PMLN and they couldn't get that seat.
Most definitely, vote casting in GB is the most unique in all of Pakistan... All are related to each other and votes usually depend upon who is going to commit how much. instead of just party leaders the person who's getting voted in is also key to success... So you don't see Buddhi Phuppos and Disco Accountant getting voted in.This is the beauty of electoral politics that there are many factors at play at the same time.
Moreover, party seats are also surrendered in a beautiful way. A group of elders would go to the home of the unsuccessful candidate / old candidate to convince him to leave that party seat... Then the party is usually informed that this is our new candidate..Most definitely, vote casting in GB is the most unique in all of Pakistan...

You are giving lanat to Punjabi 'outsiders' on an ethnic basis, but AJK is around 99% Punjabi ethnically...
Is there no limit to the misuse of Kashmiri ethnicity?
Do you even know what JAAC is protesting for? All but ONE major demand of theirs have been fulfilled: The removal of IOK Muhajir seats, which is something you would expect the Indians to demand after defeating us in a war.
Yet, JAAC cultists pretend that they are some oppressed dasmels in distress protesting for 'basic rights.' This is an insult to Kashmiris of IOK who have died protesting ACTUAL atrocities like mass rapes, murders, genocide, or something as little as not supporting the Indian Cricket Team.
I am a Kashmiri, I've never felt the need to blackmail the govt on an ethno-nationalist basis, just because they refuse to strip away representation from a certain group of people, or give me free sh!t at the expense of the taxpayer in a country where the average monthly wage is less than what a 15 year old janitor at Wendy's earns in a few days.
There are THREE MILLION Kashmiris living in Lahore, how many of them go around shooting up the city and threatening separatism, just because they don't get endless luxuries and monopoly over the voting bank?
IT is sad to see a segment of Pakistan's Punjabi Pahari diaspora acting like Iranian Persian diaspora, maligning their own country and people while using the name of Kashmiri ethnicity for their agenda.
and then run to GHQ when shit hits the fan and finally bend over and try to appease them but to no avail..
NS didn't harm Pakistan as much in 45 years as this filth did in just 4 years. Brainless cult followers wouldn't see that.
Disgraceful people turn into an enemy of the institution that has fed then for decades. PTI cult consists of this type of disgraced people.
LMAO fought the Sikhs with such vigour and devotion that even the small population of GB was quicker to end Dogra rule... If it weren't for Pakistani Pashtuns and Punjabis feeding the Indian meat grinder you would have become part of the same statistics that exist on ther side... but even in freedom you want a subsidy.AJK is not and never has been 99% Punjabi, no one calls themselves Punjabi. The people of AJK fought the Sikh Punjabi empire, Punjab in Pakistan did not and allied with it.
I will agree with you there is some misuse of the Kashmiri identity, as that the people, around 85% are descended from tribes that migrated from Punjab hundreds of years ago. However, parallels can be draw with Afghanistan, where traditionally being Afghan meant you were Pashtun, however that doesn't stop or put off Tajiks which is a different ethnicity calling themselves Afghan.
Again I'll agree there is no 'oppression' as such, but the people of AJK have suffered and it's them who are the first to be shaheed whenever the Indian army opens up with heavy guns. There has been literally hundreds of deaths due to cross border fire. Excluding yourself I find it erroneous that someone sitting in a housing colony in Lahore and Karachi can be tapping out on their keyboard on how the people are traitors and should be crushed, when they themselves haven't seen a single day of suffering.
As for the stripping away of rights, we don't know who holds the seats and they have been used for political leverage. I have no issue with the seats and they should be kept for the ancestors of those who migrated. So where are all the Ganis, Bhatts, Lones, Gilanis, Mirs etc?
The figure for Lahore is more or less correct and comes from the 2017 census.
Pahari regions (inluding potohar, hazara etc) did a lot against both sikhs and especially the War of '48; let's not belittle them just because of some random protests. It's counterproductive.LMAO fought the Sikhs with such vigour and devotion that even the small population of GB was quicker to end Dogra rule...
