Thousands of people in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) are protesting against the Shehbaz Sharif government. The Awami Action Committee (AAC) called for a “shutter-down and wheel-jam” strike. Protesters demand cheaper flour, fair electricity rates, and the removal of 12 refugee assembly seats. Islamabad sent thousands of troops and cut internet access to stop the movement. Talks between the AAC and the government broke down after 13 hours. “Enough is enough. Deliver on rights or face the wrath of the people,” said AAC leader Shaukat Nawaz Mir. The situation remains tense as both sides refuse to step back.
