Protests in PoK: Public outrage, 2 killed in Pak Army firing
Pakistan Occupied Kashmir Protest: The public in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) is enraged. The situation appears completely out of control. The situation has escalated to the point where the Pakistani army is firing on civilians. Despite the gunfire, the people are unwilling to retreat. Two people have been killed and at least 22 injured in the firing by the Munir Army. The primary reason for the public anger is the skyrocketing inflation. Fed up with the atrocities of the Pakistani rulers, the public has now revolted. Anti-government protests are taking place under the leadership of the Awami Action Committee.
People have taken to the streets in large numbers.
Thousands of people have taken to the streets in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The protests have brought normal life to a standstill. Shops are closed, roads are blocked, and public transport has been halted. Following the call of the Awami Action Committee, large numbers of protesters have joined the anti-government demonstrations from Muzaffarabad to Kotli. Those participating in the protest are raising slogans for justice and rights.
Awami Action Committee is gaining public support.
The Awami Action Committee is a civic alliance that has gained considerable popularity in recent months. A large number of young people are associated with this organization. The organization's 38-point charter demands structural reforms, including the abolition of 12 legislative seats in the PoK Assembly reserved for Kashmiri refugees living in Pakistan. Other demands include subsidized flour, fair electricity rates related to the Mangla Hydroelectric Project, and the implementation of long-pending reforms promised by Islamabad.
"The government considers PoK a colony"
Addressing the people in Muzaffarabad, Awami Action Committee's prominent leader, Shaukat Nawaz Mir, declared that their struggle is for the basic rights denied to them since 1947. The Pakistani government treats PoK as a colony, not as an integral part of Pakistan with equal rights.
What is the Pakistani government doing?
Videos of protests in PoK are going viral on social media. Given the situation, the Pakistani government appears determined to suppress these protests. Heavy security forces have been deployed in many areas. Internet access has been blocked. Additional forces have been called in from Islamabad. Entry and exit points in cities like Muzaffarabad have been barricaded.
