1. POK: Massive Protests Against Pakistan Army, People Seek Help From India
Protests in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir against the Pakistan Army have intensified. People in 10 districts of POK have come to the streets alleging blockade and atrocities by the Pakistan government.
For the first time, protesters have publicly appealed to India for help. They said they are suffering without food, water, and medicine and requested India to provide assistance. Along with this, slogans demanding reunification with India are also getting louder.
A viral video of JAC leader Sardar Aman Khan is doing rounds on social media. In the speech, he said, “We have shortage of ration and medicine. People of Poonch and Rajouri in India, please help us.” He asked the crowd, “Should we cross the border and step towards India?” Thousands of people responded loudly, “Yes, let’s go.”
He also warned that if Pakistan government opens fire, they also have other options. Protesters are holding white flags and protesting peacefully.
Usually July 5 is celebrated as Kashmir Solidarity Day by Pakistan. But this year, on the same day, massive protests are happening against Pakistan itself. The entire protest is being led by Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee - JAC.
As usual, Pakistan government is trying to suppress protesters. POK activist Shaukat Nawaz Mir along with 600+ protesters have been arrested. After this, the situation has worsened further.

On the other hand, Indian officials slammed Pakistan Defense Minister Khawaja Asif calling him “mentally unstable” after he made comments on PM Modi receiving Seychelles’ ‘Guardian of the Blue Horizon’ award.
