Powers that be fed up with PML-N ‘failures’: governor

For those who defend this regime by pointing to the failure of civilian governments, Pakistan rarely had democratic governments to begin with. The army just ping pongs between the 2 failures that are PPP and PMLN and poisons the waters for any true democratic party accountable to the ppl, rather than them to take hold. The same PMLN supporters celebrating right now will be demanding democracy when Punjab is handed over to PPP and Lahore experiences the injustices of Karachi.

South Asia’s Gen Z moment

Whatever is unfolding in Balochistan, KP and Azad Kashmir reflects a pushback against an elite-dominated power structure. Hundreds of political and human rights activists are said to be behind bars. The judiciary itself is shackled, restricting avenues for those seeking justice. News from these areas may be kept off the mainstream media, but reality cannot be hidden in the age of social media. Curbing access to social media cannot work in the tech age. Given the tensions existing along Pakistan’s borders, more unrest could have far-reaching consequences beyond the frontiers, as the regional landscape is highly volatile. Pakistan must restore democratic rights before it is too late.

Police dressed as armed civilians in AJK

You can clearly see in this video that armed men in civilian clothes are walking alongside policemen. These people shoot at protestors, incite violence and then blame JAAC for hiring goons and arming people.

These are the vile strategies of the government and that deplorable IG Malik Liaquat.

70 people are dead. Hundreds injured. That's the number of families that are grieving and angry. If we still don't speak up about the brutalities of our forces in AJK and make them stop, we'll fuel regional militancy like many others our "leaders" have created so far in Pakistan.

Spread and aware!

Azad Kashmir: the protests nobody explained to you

Over the past few days nearly 40 people have been killed in Azad Kashmir, mobile and internet service was cut across most of the territory, and the election was split into three separate polling dates. Most of Pakistan saw almost none of it. What did reach our timelines arrived pre-packaged as either "muftkhors want a share of our money" or "Indian-funded separatists."

I went and read the actual charter, the court ruling, and the Election Commission's own numbers. Five of the most repeated claims collapse immediately.

If you want to read the 38 demands yourself instead of taking my word for it, the full text is here:

Casualties reported after JAAC, police clash in AJK's Rawalakot | The Express Tribune

The silence on this topic in both our sold out media is criminal. And so is the silence on this sub regarding today’s deaths. The army has massacred more Pakistanis under Munir than it has terrorists but the people and media would rather stay in ignorance than confront reality.

After 17 deaths. The brave sons of Kashmir enter Rawalakot,Kashmir

Visuals are from 3am,

17 people have been killed so far by the Asim Regime and the brave sons of Kashmir did not stop.

The people marching here have not eaten since morning. They are marching on empty stomachs and unarmed.

They did not falter.

They did not back down.

They gave blood.

They stood.

This is the main baazar of Rawalakot.

People are entering at 3am. The forces have retreated to back positions.

Now half of the city is taken by the civilians of the city. Half is still under the brutal regime.

All eyes on Rawalakot today..

After nearly two months of sitins and protests, the people of the State of Jammu and Kashmir are preparing to march towards Muzaffarabad.

My heart bleeds for those who may become sacrificial lambs in their struggle against the hard state under Asim Munir. A large number of security forces are already stationed in Rawalakot, and beyond it lies an Army Brigade Headquarters. I fear what is to come. If the march reaches there, bloodshed seems almost inevitable.

52 people have already been martyred. How many more lives must be lost before someone listens? If this chaos spirals out of control, I don't know how things could ever return to normal. My thoughts and prayers are with every innocent life caught in the middle.

AJK. What's Happening?

This is for the people who are actually curious and want to learn about the ground realities and are not just chomping down on the state media only.

This is long and I will need your patience.

3 years ago.

Tired from all the political parties of AJK which are heavily influenced by the one we call establishment and Govt of Pakistan.

A grass-root movement for human rights started in Ajk. This movement was unique in the sense that it didn't peddle any idealogy. It didn't tell you what you should believe in idealogically, it didn't divide in any political parties, it didn't divide in sects or casts or geography. This was a movement purely from working class men and for the working class men.

Ajk has both Pro-Pakistani and Pro-independence sentiment and this has existed this way for decades. However pro-independence parties aren't allowed to contest election in Ajk as it is required of a candidate to swear an allegiance to Pakistan if you want to contest elections. But the nationalists existed. The sentiment festered. And a good chunk of people base their identity on the ancient Kingdom of Jammu Kashmir which is older than Pakistan.

In india our state calls them our heros for example Yasin Malik. However as we are mostly hypocrites in Pakistan they aren't discussed and argued with rather just forcefully suppressed. And I am saying this as a Pan-islamist Pro Pakistani Kashmiri.

Okay we are getting de-tracked. Back to the movement.

When the movement started some basic principals were established. People can hold their own ideological backgrounds however the JAAC (Joint Awami Action Committee) will only unify on basic human rights and work in the constitutional framework of AJK. Thus uniting both Pro-Pakistani and Pro-independence people. A basic charter of demand was drafted and it increased according to the areas which it spread to with general needs of each area eg tunnels, hospitals, education boards.

Big demands included.

Stopping all govt extra expenditure.Limiting number of ministers and stopping extra benefits to the beurocracy.

Low cost of electricity as Ajk produces much much surplus than its needs.

Low cost on flour.

12 refugee seats in ajk assembly of 45 direct elected MNAs to be abolished. As these seats aren't voted on in the geography of AJK and the AJK assembly ONLY operates in the geography of AJK.

It started with rallies and sit ins (dharna) when LEAs clamped down. They gave voluntary arrests. And at one point they even started a fill the jails movement where normal citizens started giving voluntary arrests 😂😂

As the movement grew it became enormously popular in AJK and in 2024 a Long march was called to Mzd.

At the same time the political parties were becoming increasingly irrelevant as 4 primisters have been changed in Ajk In the last 5 years. (Aapas ki baat hai it always happens via orders of Core-Commander of Malika e Kohsaar) (Murree)

When the people reached Kohala they had already lost 12 people by firing from LEAs.(Rangers and isb police were called by Ajk govt ) The entrance of Muzaffarabad the capital city. They were asked to stop there and negotiate. They did so. After 3 days an agreement was reached between JAAC-AJKandFederal Govt of Pakistan. And now we know General Faisal Naseer was made the guarenteeing authority.

Most of the demands had a maximum date of 3 months to be done. Except those which would ofcourse need more for example tunnels infrastructure projects.

Fast forward 3 months. Electricity was 3 ruppe per unit for less than 100 units and then 7 and 15 and more for domestic.

But as a witness myself. Voltage was dropped drastically. The bulbs were flickering like indicators. People lost their Tvs laptops and what not. You get the gist of it.

Flour was made cheaper however again. Rotten wheat was being used ti make lower quality product. And distrubuted.

Ministeries were reduced but advisors were added in the place.

Sooo. The Committee that was made to supervise all that. The members of JAAC resigned citing bad faith.

JAAC announced a protest again.

The govt promised to renegotiate and said we will negotiate till 7 june. JAAC had called a protest on june 9 before.

On 4th June of 2026 an assassination attempt was made by the markhor(allegedly) on one of the key figures of the movement. One person died in this fiasco but the leader survived. The people came out to protest and then rangers were called and 15 people including 4 leas died on june 5.

Rangers were called again. Punjab and islamabad police too. 150000 more. And JAAC was banned citing some of the speeches of nationalists. It was called a miscreant and violent movement. Even tho the charter of demand included nothing beyond the constitution. But when the state wants to make a narrative. They make it whether true or false. One sided narrative continues to run on Pakistani TV channels and since June 4 to July 9. JAAC is continuing it's peaceful sit in the centre of Ajk a place called rawalakot.

So far. 35 plus protestors have been killed. And thousands have been arrested.

Many key figures of JAAC have been arrested and some and some have been let go following the may 9 like statements online.

The man to "manage" this protest was called. And yes. You guessed it right. Brig Faiq. The same man who was at the forefront at may 9 and Muridkay in lahore.

It has been over a month. Internet and mobile service has been suspended. Even food trucks have been stopped in punjab to go to ajk as a form of collective punishment.

People are continuing their SIT ins at rawalakot even after 1 or 2 people die every day.

Today JAAC has announced it will continue it's march forward towards muzaffarabad from Rawalkot on july 15th.
