During a press conference, the Secretary of Information for Azad Kashmir stated that the recent unrest in the region has resulted in a loss of Rs 15 billion to the state. The statement came amid discussions about the role of the Awami Action Committee.
In a press conference on Monday, Azad Jammu and Kashmir Information Department Secretary Muhammad Rashid Hanif claimed that state institutions possess evidence of Indian funding behind the agenda of the banned Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC).
Hanif stated that the evidence points to Indian funds being used to mobilize overseas Kashmiris, such as UK-based Amjad Ayub Mirza, to promote an ‘anti-Pakistan agenda’.
He accused the proscribed group of engaging in ‘illegal and violent’ activities for the past month under the guise of human rights, causing economic losses of approximately Rs15 billion. The information secretary acknowledged that the JAAC began in 2023 as a movement addressing public concerns like electricity prices, but claimed it was later taken over by individuals with a ‘pronounced agenda’.
