- Due to the poor administration, Pakistan is currently experiencing economic instability.
- The people of POJK have not publicly said that they want to reunite with India.
- Beginning in Rawalakot in POJK, the demonstrations over energy tariffs have expanded throughout the entire country of Pakistan.
Due to the poor administration of successive governments and a significant cost of living crisis, Pakistan is currently experiencing economic instability. Numerous communities have expressed their desire for “azadi” from the government as a result of the country’s unparalleled inflation and growing energy expenses, which are tearing at the country’s unity.
As Pakistan descends into political instability and economic disaster, this feeling is currently resonating in the valleys of Pakistan-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (POJK), as residents of the disputed area assess their precarious economic situation.
POJK protests
Because it would be extremely risky for them to do so, the people of POJK have not publicly said that they want to reunite with India. Numerous organizations in POJK have claimed for more than 70 years that Pakistan is an invading power that is looting its natural resources.
There was a significant walkout in POJK a few days ago, and supporters of Pakistan tried to use the occasion to refer to Pakistan as their “big brother” and request that he lower the cost of electricity. However, the crowds assaulted the stage and dragged the spectators to the ground while yelling anti-Pakistani chants.
Beginning in Rawalakot in POJK, the demonstrations over energy tariffs have expanded throughout the entire country of Pakistan. Because POJK, Mangla Dam, and Neelum-Jhelum are used to produce power, the residents of POJK are sensitive to any increase in prices.
The IMF has requested that the government provide a detailed proposal to reduce the circular debt of the power industry as a result of the intense strain these protests have placed on the administration.
Although the interim administration is facing intense criticism, the army commander is on its side. Due to three factors—fulfilling IMF requirements, cementing rifts in the army caused by former Prime Minister Imran Khan, and ensuring the polls produce the desired results—the general headquarters of the Pakistan Army controls the economy, and the populace is not ready for elections.
