AJK – (Special Correspondent/ Web Desk) – Despite numerous government offers for dialogue, violent protests continued in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK).

The miscreants continued to break the law at gunpoint while posing as the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) protests, according to information that came to light on Friday. They attacked police officers, stealing weapons, shooting, and beating them with spiked sticks. The criminals forcibly removed the police officers’ equipment and tortured them.

Police officers in Islamabad were also the target of protesters. The injured reported being taken hostage, having their uniforms torn, and being pelted with stones and sticks. Weapons were seized and police fired upon. 31 federal police officers and twelve Azad Kashmir police personnel were hospitalised at PIMS.

Riots erupted in Muzaffarabad, Mirpur and Rawalakot, severely disrupting normal life in the valley. Federal Interior Minister Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi visited the injured at PIMS and offered encouragement. He warned that the miscreants’ malicious aims would not be allowed to succeed under any circumstances.
