‘Discontent answered with bullets’: MEA slams Pakistan over PoK crackdown

India’s external affairs ministry has strongly denounced Pakistan’s actions concerning Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, where protests were met with brutality, leading to numerous fatalities. The Joint Awami Action Committee, prohibited from operating, led rallies demanding a fair distribution of refugee seats. Additionally, upcoming elections in the region were marred by violence and claims of electoral fraud, prompting India to call on the global community to hold Pakistan accountable for these violations.
