Another leaked call exposed leaders of the banned Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC), planning violent activities in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK).
As per details, the banned Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) is linked to disruptive activities across AJK, including forced strikes, road blockades, vandalism of public and private property, and attacks on law enforcement personnel.
A recently surfaced audio recording unveiled discussions between two senior figures of the banned group, identified as Advocate Shah Nawaz and Majid Ali, in which they are heard planning measures to escalate unrest in the region.
In the leaked call, the two individuals are allegedly heard discussing strategies to shut down roads and hospitals, as well as coordinating actions aimed at worsening the law and order situation. They are also heard suggesting tactics to intimidate law enforcement agencies and incite public agitation through provocative slogans.
The audio further revealed that individuals voluntarily surrendering to authorities were discouraged from cooperating with law enforcement and were allegedly urged to act against the state.
Security and policy analysts say that due to such activities allegedly carried out under external influence, the public in AJK is becoming increasingly aware of the group’s methods and intentions.
In light of the situation, local communities are supporting government measures taken against the banned group due to concerns over rising instability.
It is important to mention here that the banned Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) sit-in at Rawalakot’s Drek Eidgah failed to attract public support, with the large number of empty chairs at the venue reflecting what many see as a clear rejection of the group by the majority of the population, according to a report.
The JAAC had called people to Rawalakot under the banner of fundamental rights and sought to create the impression that it could exert pressure on state institutions through a mass gathering, disrupt the system, and establish a front against the state. However, these efforts appear to have fallen short of expectations.
As the group’s agenda and narrative became more widely known, including allegations of anti-state and anti-Pakistan rhetoric, public support reportedly declined. Observers point to the sparsely attended sit-in as evidence that the group no longer enjoys significant public backing or a broadly accepted narrative.
