| Pakistan stages false flag attacks to suppress PoJK rights movement | | Pak Govt using LeT terrorists to justify crackdown | | Early Times Report
Jammu, July 16: Amid escalating unrest in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), Pakistani authorities have been accused of orchestrating a false flag attack near Rawalakot to justify a security crackdown on civilians participating in a mass movement demanding basic rights and essential services.
According to sources associated with the protest movement, the alleged attack, carried out three days ago near Rawalakot, was intended to provide a pretext for intensified action by the Pakistani Army against unarmed demonstrators.
The sources further alleged that bodies of Pakistani soldiers reportedly killed in recent attacks in Balochistan by the banned Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) were brought to Rawalakot and falsely presented as casualties of the alleged attack to bolster the official narrative. These claims could not be independently verified.
The allegations come as the Awami Action Committee's "Muzaffarabad Chalo" campaign has drawn large public participation across PoJK, triggering widespread protests and strikes.
Protest organisers claimed that lakhs of people have gathered at multiple sit-in sites around Rawalakot despite a heavy deployment of security forces. They also alleged that a complete shutdown has paralysed PoJK, with transport services suspended and markets, offices and businesses remaining closed.
According to the organisers, security forces have repeatedly attempted to disperse protesters. They alleged that two youths were killed during clashes in Arja on July 12, while two others lost their lives during violence on the Shujaabad Road connecting Rawalakot and Bagh on July 11. Independent verification of these claims was not immediately available.
Despite the reported casualties, protest leaders claimed the movement has continued to gather momentum, with families of those killed expressing determination to continue the agitation.
The Awami Action Committee asserted that the protest movement has expanded significantly over the past three years and has emerged as a major political force challenging the existing administrative structure in PoJK. It alleged that the crackdown launched by Pakistani authorities in early June marked the beginning of an intensified confrontation between the administration and the rights movement.
The Pakistani government has not officially responded to the allegations at the time of filing this report. |
