Thousands of protesters gathered at Rawalakot's Eidgah Ground in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK), declaring that the region is "not part of Pakistan" while accusing Islamabad of imposing a food blockade and decades of political and economic neglect. Demonstrators alleged that restrictions on essential supplies were being used to suppress dissent and warned that residents could seek "other roads" if the situation continued, a remark widely interpreted as hinting at closer engagement with India. The rally, held near the Line of Control (LoC), marked one of the strongest public challenges to Pakistan's control over the territory. Pakistani authorities have not publicly responded to the protesters' allegations.
