PoJK, PoGB Crackdown: Pakistan’s Desperate Response to “Operation Sindoor”
Pakistan’s clampdown on dissent in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) and Pakistan-occupied Gilgit Baltistan (PoGB) has intensified following India’s “Operation Sindoor”. This operation, the details of which remain undisclosed, appears to have significantly rattled the Pakistani establishment.
Reports from across the Line of Control (LoC) indicate a surge in arrests and restrictions on freedom of speech and assembly within the illegally occupied territories. Human rights groups are expressing serious concerns over the escalating situation.
The Pakistani government’s response is widely seen as a desperate attempt to quell growing unrest and suppress any potential pro-India sentiment within PoJK and PoGB. This heightened crackdown follows a period of increased cross-border activity.
The escalating tensions underscore the complex geopolitical dynamics in the region. The long-standing dispute over Kashmir continues to cast a long shadow, with implications for regional stability and international relations. The international community must take note of this concerning development and urge Pakistan to respect human rights.
