Скачать или смотреть AJK Protests Return: Kohala Entry Closed, Parties Prepare for Elections | The Kashmir |

Azad Kashmir once again enters a decisive political phase as the Joint Awami Action Committee activates full preparations for fresh protests across the region. The biggest development comes from the Kohala entry point, where movement between AJK and KP remains critically restricted. Although the ongoing protest on the KP side is directed toward the KP government and linked to their six unresolved demands pending for nearly two years, the closure is putting severe pressure on Kashmiris—especially patients, students, and daily travelers. Yet, no clear statement has been issued from AJK ministers or the Prime Minister regarding reopening the route. Even Sher Afzal Marwat attempted negotiations, but talks reportedly failed.

Meanwhile, the political landscape continues to shuffle. Shah Ghulam Qadir remains a rare figure navigating influence in both government and opposition circles, raising new discussions in Muzaffarabad’s political corridors. In Poonch Division, the situation worsens as unprecedented electricity load-shedding triggers public frustration; Sardar Umar Nazir Kashmir has issued a strong message demanding urgent reforms.

Across the region, the government is attempting to regain public trust. Minister Raja Faisal Mumtaz Rathore has launched a district-wide visit, announcing multiple developmental measures ahead of the upcoming election cycle. At the same time, Pakistan Peoples Party AJK intensifies its election preparations, while PML-N AJK also moves toward full campaign readiness.

The future of the Awami Action Committee’s agreement remains a central question. Several of their earlier demands have been partially accepted, while others—particularly those involving governance reforms and resource distribution—remain contested. On the refugee seats, resignations continue, further heating the political climate. (Previously mentioned names: *Sardar Maqbool Zaman, Raja Khalid, Altaf Bhat, Raja Masood — add if needed.)

Another major development is the speculation surrounding former Prime Minister Chaudhry Anwar-ul-Haq, who is expected to join a new party soon. The strongest rumors link him either to Muslim Conference or PML-N, though insiders suggest talks are ongoing with multiple camps.

On the public front, Awami Action Committee supporters across districts are preparing to intensify demonstrations, as dissatisfaction grows over delayed reforms and broken commitments.

Weather-wise, the coming days in AJK are expected to bring cold, dry conditions, with increasing nighttime chill across Muzaffarabad, Rawalakot, Bagh, Neelum, Kotli, Poonch, Bhimber, Palandri, Mirpur, and surrounding valleys.

With protests rising, the Kohala access crisis deepening, major parties entering election mode, and the Awami Action Committee returning to the streets — AJK politics appears ready for another decisive chapter.
