In a significant development in Azad Kashmir, the police have sealed the central office of the banned Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) amid an intensified crackdown on groups accused of anti-state activities. This decisive action reflects the authorities’ commitment to curbing elements that threaten regional stability and public safety.
The operation was conducted by the Azad Kashmir administration and police following intelligence reports about the group’s involvement in disruptive activities. During the raid and thorough search of the premises, law enforcement officials confiscated a machine gun, a rifle, and a pistol, highlighting the serious nature of the threat posed by the organization.
Despite the presence of individuals gathered outside the JAAC office at the time of the raid, the authorities reported no protests or disturbances, indicating a controlled and well-coordinated operation. Experts and officials have emphasized that the discovery of weapons under the pretext of “rights activism” signals an intent to foment unrest and destabilize the region.
Authorities stressed that such stringent measures are essential to uphold law and order and protect the public from potential violence. This crackdown is part of broader efforts to ensure peace and security throughout Azad Kashmir, reinforcing the government’s stance against any form of militancy or unlawful agitation.
