Fierce fire of insurgency in PoJK: More than 80 civilians martyred in indiscriminate firing by Pakistani Army


The flames of protest against civil rights, rampant inflation and government repression in Pakistan’s illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) have now taken the form of a mass movement. The situation has worsened to such an extent that it has gone out of the control of Pakistani Army Chief General Asim Munir and the local government. Instead of pacifying the unarmed citizens who took to the streets, Pakistani security forces are firing on them. Dozens of innocent people have lost their lives in the last few days, due to which the entire area is on the verge of tension.
