India expects international community to hold Pakistan accountable for 'egregious abuses' in PoJK

  • On Tuesday, India sharply criticized Pakistan over unrest in PoJK, describing the protests as a "direct consequence" of Islamabad's "decades-long systemic exploitation, denial of fundamental rights, and administrative oppression" in the region.
  • Massive protests have roiled PoJK for 35 days over inflated living costs and administrative apathy; demonstrators openly debunked Pakistan's long-standing narrative of "Kashmir's liberation," calling it a "Churan" that will no longer find buyers.
  • Pakistani security forces launched a violent crackdown in Rawalakot, where clashes near the New Bus Terminal resulted in six civilian deaths after authorities allegedly used "excessive police brutality" against "unarmed women and children."
  • Resentment against pro-Pakistan political parties intensified ahead of regional elections as protesters stopped Pakistan Peoples Party convoys in Kotli, with one vehicle set on fire on Saturday night.
  • External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal demanded the international community hold Pakistan "fully accountable" for "egregious abuses and misdeeds." Sardar Javed Iqbal, a prominent member of the Awami Action Committee, stated residents have rejected the state's 78-year-old liberation rhetoric.
