Pakistan has once again taken strict action to suppress protests in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK). Top leader of Awami Action Committee from Dhirkot, Shaukat Nawaz Mir, has been arrested on charges of terrorism and treason. According to the information, Shaukat Nawaz Mir was hiding in a house in Dhirkot for the last three weeks and was allegedly conducting the movement from there. It is being told that in the evening Pakistani Rangers and POK Police reached that house through the forest. During the action, the security forces first fired several rounds in the air and then arrested Shaukat Nawaz Mir.
Search for other leaders intensified
After the arrest of Shaukat Nawaz Mir, Pakistan’s security agencies have also intensified the search for other leaders associated with the movement. In the same sequence, late night police and Rangers conducted a search operation at the house of Sardar Omar Nazir, one of the main organizers of the movement in Rawalakot.

Major action was taken earlier also
This is not the first time that Pakistan has shown strictness against the protesters. Many actions have already been taken by Pakistan to stop the agitation that has been going on for the last 22 days. In one day, about 150 people were allegedly declared terrorists by the PoK government. About two weeks ago, cases of treason and terrorism were registered against four prominent leaders of the movement, Shaukat Nawaz Mir, Sardar Umar Nazir, Sardar Aman Khan and Khawaja Mehran. A reward of Rs 1 crore was also announced on the arrest of these four leaders.
Big demonstration continues on 22nd day
Despite these actions, the protests in PoK have not stopped. On the 22nd day of the movement, more than 60 thousand protesters are said to be present at the Idgah ground in Rawalakot. Despite internet services being closed, rallies are being taken out against the Pakistan government in many areas of PoK.
Discussion of preparations for Muzaffarabad march
After the arrest of Shaukat Nawaz Mir, it is believed that the Awami Action Committee may announce the Muzaffarabad march in the coming days. At present, the security agencies of Pakistan are trying to control the movement, while the protesters are continuing their protest.
