Pakistan-occupied Kashmir is burning. And the residents are comparing this situation with Gaza. Besides, they are comparing the IDF and the Israeli army with the Pak army. Saying that POK is like Palestine!
Pakistan Army attacked Pakistan Occupied Kashmir on Thursday. At least seven people died. The number of injured is 23. According to reports by Pakistani and Kashmiri journalists, civilians who were peacefully protesting in Rawalpindi were fired upon by the Pakistani army indiscriminately. According to some Pakistani journalists, the number of dead may be 12!
The world was in an uproar over the IDF attack on the Gaza Strip in Israel. The situation is not normal yet. The Israeli army has been accused of attacking hospitals in search of Hamas militants. Concern has spread throughout the world about the way the lives of ordinary people have been endangered in that incident. Now the angry Kashmiris are comparing the attack of Pak army in PoK with that incident.
The strong reaction came after an operation on November 5 by Pakistani Rangers, Frontier Corps personnel and the police. In that operation, the protest sites occupied by the 'Jammu and Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee' (JAAC) were vacated. This organization, which is banned in Pakistan, has been protesting since June. They are demanding basic political and economic rights as well as the implementation of the 38-point charter — which applies to the region, which has been under Pakistan's illegal occupation since 1947.
In a video, JAAC leader Sardar Umar Nazir shows some debris, which he says are bomb fragments recovered after drone strikes on residential areas. He claimed that the drones were attacking the protest camps from different directions. Besides, he urged the local residents to move to Rawalakot in the context of intensifying repression by Pakistan.
