Demands for Autonomy Surge in
PoJK
The Chairman of the United Kashmir
People's National Party (UKPNP), Sardar Shaukat
Ali Kashmiri, says Pakistan maintains tight political control over
Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), limiting democratic rights and
marginalising local leadership. He argues that real authority lies with
unelected institutions, while elected bodies remain largely ineffective. Despite the region’s natural resources, local
communities face shortages of basic services and limited economic
opportunities. #26 जनवरी के अपडेट
