Hope and frustration reflected in PoJK's movement, says expert
Oct 21, 2025
A recent massive strike across Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, led by the Joint Awami Action Committee, brought life to a standstill as people united over demands for free healthcare, free education, and fair internet access. Senior journalist from PoJK Roshan Mughal said the protest reflected growing frustration with decades of failed governance and political disunity. Despite minor incidents, the strike remained largely peaceful, showing rare unity beyond tribal and political divides, he said.
