Muzaffarabad, the regional capital of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK), was surrounded by a tense atmosphere on Thursday (October 2). Thousands of people attended the funeral of those killed in violent protests that have been going on for several days. According to local reports, at least eight people died in the clashes that started on Monday (September 29). This incident shook the entire region and went on dissatisfaction and deepening against the policies of the government.
These protests are being led by Jammu and Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee (JKJAC). This movement did not suddenly provoke, but is a result of the resentment and dissatisfaction of the people continuing for a long time. People of PoK say that the Government of Pakistan avoids giving them political and economic rights. Because of this, everyday life is becoming difficult. The Government of Pakistan is accused of using PoK resources, but the public does not get benefit. These issues have given a big look to the movement together.
Janata vs Pakistan Government
On September 29, a shutdown and chakka jam was organized on the call of JKJAC. During this, there were clashes, in which many people were also injured. The government’s response worsened the situation. Internet and mobile services were discontinued. Deployment of police and security forces was increased. An attempt was made to describe the movement as an external conspiracy and propaganda, but the huge crowd gathered at the funeral proved that it is not only opposition to some people but widespread public dissatisfaction.
Injustice to PoK
For a long time, the Kashmir which Pakistan has been telling its own, people are looking dissatisfied with the government in the same part. Many reasons have emerged for this. Local people allege that the Government of Pakistan always keeps PoK on the second status. PoK people do not have the freedom to take decisions in their field. Inflation and unemployment have made people’s lives difficult. Pakistan exploits the natural resources here, but the public does not get its benefit. All these reasons had been causing dissatisfaction among the public for a long time, which have now turned into big protests.
