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.

On Thursday (25 June 2026), the public rebellion against the Pakistani government and army continues for the 16th day in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir regarding their demands. While on one hand, more than 50 thousand protesters sitting at the Idgah ground in Rawalakot are demanding the independence of Pakistan occupied Kashmir, on the other hand the women of PoK are appealing to separate Kashmir from the predatory Pakistan and join hands with India.

PoK’s famous social media influencer Ranima Shazma posted a video and said that the way Pakistani army is looting people’s houses and targeting people, it is better that the people of PoK join hands with India. Ranima Shazma also made it clear that Pakistan was never with PoK and will never be.

Protestors are also raising their voice in PoK

Protestors in PoK are also raising their voice against Pakistani occupation. Awami Action Committee member Sardar Aman Khan said in front of 50 thousand protesters that Pakistani army should leave Kashmir and they cannot do anything for Kashmir. Give Kashmir to Kashmiris and then Kashmiris should go and India should go. Along with this, Aman Khan also warned that the people of PoK neither want those 12 MLAs, whom the Pakistani government and ISI appoint in the name of refugee seats, nor the remaining 41 MLAs, who are elected by rigging.

Disgusting act by Pakistani government and army

To end the protests in PoK, the Pakistani government and army are trying their best to create food shortage in PoK. ABP News has got the pictures of trucks parked on the Pakistan-PoK border for 10 days, which contain food items, which the Pakistani army is not allowing to enter PoK. In such a situation, people are exposing Pakistan’s false claims of calling Kashmir Shah-Ragh and are also criticizing the Pakistani Army.

PoK completely closed for 16 days

The entire PoK has been closed for the last 16 days and people have come out of their homes and are sitting on a dharna in Rawalakot. The government of Pakistan is making every possible effort to crush the fire of rebellion. In this series, the puppet government of PoK has today dismissed 128 government employees from their jobs on charges of participating in the insurgency. ABP News has an exclusive copy of the order issued by the puppet government of PoK headed by Faizal Mumtaz Rathore, in which retired soldiers have also been threatened that if they are seen protesting, their pension will be cancelled.

Pakistani army has killed 58 people

Pakistani Army has killed 58 people in the last 16 days. The organizers and organization of the protest have been declared terrorists. 150 people who participated and helped in the protest have been declared terrorists, yet the insurgency in PoK is not stopping. After this, Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif gave a statement that he does not consider the people of Rawalakot as Kashmiris and being born in Kashmir is not a proof of them being Kashmiris. Also, Khwaja Asif said that these people do not even speak Kashmiri. On Wednesday (June 24, 2026), Defense Minister Khawaja Asif gave an angry statement in the Pakistani Parliament and said that we have fought 5 wars for PoK, yet what we get is that Pakistan is abused there and given dharnas. I cannot tolerate this at all.

Pakistan’s illegal occupation of parts of Jammu and Kashmir

After illegally occupying parts of Jammu and Kashmir in 1948, Pakistan had settled Punjabi and Urdu speaking people in areas like Mirpur, Rawalakot, Muzaffarabad so that its power could be maintained in POK, but after the insurgency that started on June 9, the Pakistani Defense Minister, not only to reject the protest, but also to bring to the world the sins committed by the rulers of his country. In such a situation, it has to be seen whether the rebellion that started from June 9 once again frees any area from Pakistan’s occupation like in 1971 or like every time, this time also the Pakistani Army suppresses the voice of the people of PoK on the strength of bullets.

While yesterday in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, slogans were raised for freedom from the occupation of Pakistan and China, today the protesters called Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, Field Marshal Asim Munir, POK Prime Minister Faisal Mumtaz Rathod and President Asif Ali Zardari as Kaladam i.e. terrorists. Also, the leader of Awami Action Committee said that the tribals who had forcibly occupied PoK in 1947 and grabbed the land are also with the PoK protesters today. Addressing the crowd, the Awami Action Committee leader said that this is the first time that Jammu, Gilgit Baltistan and Ladakh are supporting the protesters.

While warning the cruel rule of Pakistan, the leader of Awami Action Committee said that this is not Sindh, Balochistan, D Chowk, this is Kashmir where if a dead body falls, lakhs of people come on the streets. So far 53 people have lost their lives in the ongoing protests in PoK since last Tuesday, but the Rawalakot protesters are standing firm on their demands against the cruel Pakistani government and army and are adopting a rebellious stance against the Pakistani government and army.

Revolt against Pakistani army and government

However, differences are also clearly visible among the leaders of the Awami Action Committee in the rebellion against the Pakistani army and the government, where Sardar Aman Khan and Khwaja Mehran are openly adopting a rebellious attitude and demanding the independence of PoK and have announced an all-out war against the Pakistani army, while Umar Nazir and Shaukat Nawaz Mir are trying to negotiate with the Pakistani government by adopting a soft stance on their demands.

What are the 2 demands of the protesters?

The issue is stuck on two demands of the protesters, first on the 12 so-called refugee seats inside PoK, which Jaanta is demanding to abolish and second, on the oath of the elected leaders of PoK, in which instead of loyalty to Pakistan, Jaanta is demanding that it should be changed to loyalty to the unity of Jammu and Kashmir because PoK is not a part of Pakistan.
