Rs15 Billion Loss, 79 FIRs: AJK Government Blames Banned Awami Action Committee
Muzaffarabad:-(Special Correspondent/New Desk)- The Government of Azad Jammu and Kashmir and the AJK Police have accused the banned Awami Action Committee of inciting violence, disrupting public order, and carrying out attacks on state institutions.
Addressing a joint press conference, the Information Secretary said the unrest had caused an estimated Rs15 billion in economic losses over the past month. He alleged that what began as a public rights movement had been taken over by disruptive and separatist elements.
The government claimed it has already provided significant subsidies on flour and electricity, while accusing the banned group of attempting to disrupt the democratic process and upcoming elections.
Officials further alleged that the organization’s leaders delivered speeches against Pakistan and its armed forces, encouraged civil disobedience, and were declared banned due to their alleged involvement in previous violent incidents.
According to the government, 79 FIRs have been registered against the group’s leaders and activists over various incidents.
AJK Police spokesperson claimed that armed groups associated with the banned committee looted supply trucks, attacked police personnel, blocked roads, and were involved in incidents that resulted in casualties among law enforcement officers. Police also alleged that misleading social media content, including AI-generated material, was used to spread misinformation.
Authorities said weapons were recovered from 17 individuals during the past month and urged the leadership of the banned organization to surrender before the law.
