🚫 FACT CHECK: This Tweet Contains Misinformation

Claim: Yesterday's result of the 12 refugee seats in the Azad Kashmir Assembly will demonstrate why these seats are such an important part of the system. It may even leave people wondering whether a third phase of the election is necessary at all! As reported by me prior to the elections, the seats have been gifted by General Asim Munir to PML(N). However, it has ignited an internal friction between the military's militant proxies and puppet political setup PML(N), which may lead to serious consequences. Watch yesterday's short Livestream to understand these dynamics, setting the stage of a possible political demolition in future at Punjab: https://t.co/THa8vgBVjq
