PoJK protests show Pakistan’s Kashmir policy is unravelling

Protests in Pakistan-occupied Jammu & Kashmir (PoJK) led by the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) demand abolishment of 12 reserved seats for 'refugees' from India.

At least 40 unarmed civilians were reported killed by Pakistani security forces in Rawalakot and Mirpur.

Pakistan's defence minister Khwaja Asif dismissed protesters as 'enemies, like India', exposing hypocrisy in Pakistan's Kashmir policy.

JAAC leaders report media blackout by Pakistan's TV channels and forcible removal of bodies from hospitals, suggesting higher death toll.

The uprising challenges Pakistan's deep state's long-standing use of terror groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba for asymmetric warfare against India.
