Asif: Mülteci Koltuklarının Kaderini AJK Halkı Belirlesin

Pakistan Savunma Bakanı Havaca Asif, Azad Keşmir'deki 12 mülteci koltuğunun geleceğine dair kararı bölge halkının vermesi gerektiğini söyledi. Asif, perşembe günü yaptığı açıklamada, artık yasaklı olan Ortak Awami Eylem Komitesi'ne (JAAC) çağrıda bulunarak, mülteci koltuklarının kaldırılıp kaldırılmayacağının halk oylamasıyla belirlenmesini istedi. Bölgesel yönetim ile JAAC arasında aylardır süren gerginliğin odağında, meclisteki bu koltukların statüsü yer alıyor. Hindistan tarafından yönetilen Keşmir'den gelen mültecileri temsil eden sandalyeler, siyasi temsil ve demografik denge açısından tartışmalı bir konu. JAAC'ın yasaklanmasıyla tırmanan krizde Asif'in demokratik çözüm önerisi, taraflardan nasıl bir karşılık bulacağı belirsizliğini koruyor. Asif'in açıklaması, federal hükümetin müdahalesini gösterirken, Azad Keşmir'deki idari ve siyasi istikrarı doğrudan etkileme potansiyeli taşıyor. Mülteci koltuklarının akıbeti, bölgedeki hassas dengeleri değiştirebileceği için dikkatle izleniyor.

    Khawaja Asif urges JAAC to let AJK voters decide fate of refugee seats

    As tensions persist in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), Defence Minister Khawaja Asif on Thursday urged the now proscribed Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) to let the people of the region decide whether the 12 refugee seats should be abolished. The regional administration and the JAAC remain at odds over various issues, most notably the committee’s demand to abolish the 12 seats in the region’s Legislative Assembly that are reserved for refugees from Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir who settled in mainland Pakistan after 1947. Speaking on the floor of the National Assembly, the defence minister called on the JAAC to raise the issue in the upcoming elections, scheduled for July 27, and “take the issue to the public”. He questioned why the group was intent on deciding the issue pre-emptively, suggesting that it might be an attempt to shape the assembly “as per their will”. Asif noted that Kashmiri refugees settled in Pakistan had paid a “heavy price” to migrate to the country, and that the JAAC had no right to demand the “taking away of their right to vote”. “The AJK that we have today is due to the sacrifices made by the Pakistan armed forces and people from across the country, not just Kashmiris,” the defence minister said, asserting that 250 million Pakistanis had a “stake” in the region. He held that there was a story in every Pakistani household of the sacrifices made for the disputed region. “Does that mean nothing? I do not want to take names, but what have they sacrificed for Kashmir? They do not have any stake, nor have they invested anything in the liberation of Kashmir,” the defence minister said. The defence czar warned that if people took the law into their own hands, the government could not be expected to “stay silent”. He also recalled that Kashmiri refugees in his constituency did not have access to basic facilities such as electricity and gas due to uncertainty surrounding their status. However, “we had their status finalised”, he said, reiterating that the way forward was dialogue, not confrontation. “I wonder if this hatred has been imported from across the line,” Asif said, in an apparent reference to the Line of Control (LoC). He maintained that the group could not “take away the identity” of Kashmiri refugees, advising that the matter should be resolved in the Legislative Assembly. “How could you exclude them from the electoral process?” the defence minister said. Asif remarked that the status “Azad” in AJK had been secured and protected by Pakistanis. “The word Azad would not have been there if it were not for Pakistan,” he said, adding that the armed forces stationed atop mountains protecting Kashmir were all Pakistanis, including Punjabis, Baloch, Pashtuns and Sindhis. Unrest in AJK continues Earlier reports suggested that activists and supporters of the proscribed JAAC had reached the outskirts of Rawalakot from multiple directions, determined to proceed through the town towards the regional capital of Muzaffarabad. On Tuesday night, a large number of protesters from Mirpur, Kotli and Bhimber districts, including the town of Dadyal, had managed to enter the territorial limits of Poonch district via Tatta Pani amid reported clashes with law enforcers. Several casualties were reported in the violence, but there was no official confirmation. On Wednesday, the protesters, who had stayed overnight at different locations in Hajira tehsil, resumed their journey towards Khaigalla, some 10 kilometres from Rawalakot, where another rally from Sudhnoti district joined them. Witnesses and official sources said that by evening, the crowd had reached Chehr Bazar and camped in the industrial area near the Eidgah, on the eastern side of the town. Another group of protesters from the Mang and Thorar areas of Poonch district had separately camped at the bus terminal on the southern side of the town. A third, relatively smaller group from Bagh district had stationed itself at a high school in Kotehri village on the northern side. Residents said Rawalakot, like the rest of AJK, observed a complete shutdown on Wednesday, with public transport off the roads and only negligible private traffic visible. Throughout the day, announcements were made over mosque loudspeakers in Rawalakot, directing citizens to restrict movement and warning that anyone attempting to enter the town from outside would be responsible for any repercussions. According to local sources, law enforcement personnel had blockaded roads leading into the city and taken positions at several locations to thwart any attempts by protesters to enter. A senior government official told Dawn that Umar Nazir Kashmiri, considered a hardline JAAC leader, had reportedly submitted a “six-point petition” to the “decision-making authorities” in an effort to defuse the situation. The demands included the withdrawal of the Home Department’s notification proscribing the group, conditions related to the deaths during the protests and cases registered over them, the lifting of any restrictions on movement, and the initiation of negotiations. The petition further stated that, pending a decision, both law enforcement personnel and protesters should remain at their respective positions. The official added that the JAAC leader had assured the authorities that protesters would not move forward. No JAAC leader was available to confirm or deny the claim. Proscribed Last Friday, following the announcement of the JAAC’s June 9 strike, the AJK government declared the body a proscribed organisation, stating that it was “engaged in terrorism” and had acted in a manner “prejudicial to peace and security” of the state. A day later, AJK authorities launched a crackdown on the JAAC, arresting scores of its leaders and activists from different areas. Sedition proceedings against two of its leaders have also been ordered, and a Rs10 million reward for information leading to the arrest of four leaders has been announced. Tensions in the region particularly flared up after a violent protest in Rawalakot, during which at least four law enforcement personnel and seven civilians lost their lives. Islamabad has also dispatched federal paramilitary forces to reinforce the region’s thinly stretched police force, and intending visitors have been advised to postpone their trips until June 20.

    AJK remains shut for third straight day

    MUZAFFARABAD: At least one person, who participated in a gathering organised by the proscribed Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC), was killed and four others injured in a clash with law enforcement personnel on the outskirts of Rawalakot on Thursday, as Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) observed a complete shutter-down strike for the third consecutive day . An official told Dawn that thousands of protesters from Mirpur, Bhimber and Kotli districts in Mirpur Division, as well as Sudhnoti and parts of Poonch districts in Poonch Division, had converged on Eidgah Ground on the eastern outskirts of Rawalakot since Wednesday evening. Smaller groups of protesters had also gathered at two other locations on the southern and northern edges of the town. According to witnesses, Umar Nazir Kashmiri, a core JAAC member facing sedition charges, delivered a “highly provocative” speech to the gathering at Eidgah Ground. The speech was streamed live on social media despite the suspension of internet services by all major providers across AJK since Friday last week. Poonch Divisional Commissioner Sardar Waheed Khan said law enforcement personnel were dispatched in the early hours of Thursday after authorities learnt of Kashmiri’s presence at the gathering. “However, when they were removing obstacles from the road, a group of protesters confronted them. In the ensuing exchange of fire, one protester was killed and four to five others were injured,” he said. The deceased activist was identified by fellow protesters as 32-year-old Sohban Arif, a resident of Gorah village in Sudhnoti district. Six-point petition During his speech, Kashmiri reportedly stated that negotiations with the government were possible and claimed he had submitted a six-point petition to the authorities to facilitate talks. A senior official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Dawn that the demands included the withdrawal of the Home Department notification proscribing JAAC, the return of the bodies of all deceased activists and injured persons, and the registration of FIRs regarding the killing of civilians. The petition also demanded the withdrawal of paramilitary troops from urban areas and the lifting of the curfew before negotiations could begin. According to the official, Kashmiri also proposed that neither law enforcement personnel nor protesters should move beyond their current positions until these demands were addressed. However, sources said the authorities were unwilling to make concessions similar to those granted on two previous occasions. Some claimed JAAC had been given a clear message that it must first surrender to the state before expecting any relief. On Thursday, the AJK Law Department withdrew four notifications, one issued in December 2024 and three in December 2025, under which cases linked to protests and agitation by the now-proscribed JAAC had been recalled from various criminal courts across the region. The notification stated that the decision had been taken during the 41st meeting of the AJK cabinet on June 5. Sources said the state had made it clear that while relief measures granted to the general public would remain intact, concessions previously extended to what it termed “troublemakers” would be withdrawn. Earlier reports from Rawalakot suggested that JAAC protesters might attempt to enter the town, raising fears of a violent confrontation. However, it later emerged that the organisation’s leadership had decided to continue sit-ins at their existing locations. “These peaceful sit-ins will continue until our detained activists are released, the bodies of activists are returned, and the notifications proscribing the Action Committee and announcing rewards for information leading to the arrest of four core members are withdrawn,” Imtiaz Aslam, a JAAC core member from Kotli, told the gathering at Eidgah Ground. JAAC alleges that the bodies of several activists killed by law enforcement agencies (LEAs) have not been handed over to their families. As drones were seen flying over Rawalakot and LEAs conducted flag marches across the area, official sources did not rule out the possibility of decisive action against the protesters later in the night.
