The Pakistani Foreign Office has formally condemned recent comments made by UK-based diaspora members and British lawmakers regarding the situation in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK). Officials in Islamabad characterized these external criticisms as ill-informed and an inappropriate interference in the nation's sovereign domestic affairs. This diplomatic pushback follows a period of violent unrest in AJK, where clashes between security forces and the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) resulted in multiple civilian fatalities. The local government has since designated the JAAC as a proscribed organization, citing its alleged involvement in terrorism and attacks on public infrastructure, including a military hospital. In response to the escalating instability, authorities have implemented a security crackdown, arrested key activists, and restricted mobile data services across the region. Pakistan has urged the British government to discourage its citizens from supporting groups that challenge the rule of law and democratic processes within the territory.
The statement highlights rising diplomatic tensions between Pakistan and the UK over internal security policies and the handling of civil unrest in the disputed AJK region.
