Statecraft With Geeta Mohan: Is India Now PoK’s Only Hope Amid Growing Crisis?

Tensions are rapidly escalating in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir as the Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) intensifies its protest movement against Islamabad. The group has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the Pakistani government, warning of a “grand and final response” if its demands are not addressed. The protests, which have spread across multiple areas, are being described by organisers as a region-wide mobilisation against alleged state repression, arrests, and economic restrictions. In a striking and unprecedented development, protest leaders have also appealed directly to India for humanitarian assistance, claiming that residents are facing severe shortages of food, rations, and medicines due to what they describe as a crackdown and an imposed economic blockade. JAAC leader Sardar Aman has urged New Delhi to intervene on humanitarian grounds and even called for the opening of the Line of Control if conditions worsen further. The Pakistani administration has intensified its response, with reports of large-scale arrests of activists and political workers, further deepening tensions in the region. Protest leaders also allege that essential supplies have been disrupted, worsening the humanitarian situation. The developments mark a significant escalation in unrest in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, drawing international attention and raising serious questions about governance, stability, and the unfolding humanitarian crisis in the region. #PoK #PakistanOccupiedKashmir #India #KashmirCrisis #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #SouthAsia #PakistanNews #IndiaNews #HumanitarianCrisis #Protests #LoC #Islamabad #KashmirProtests #WorldNews #JAAC India Today Global is the international arm of India's most trusted media organization — delivering factual, up-to-date news, analysis, and insights from India and around the world.
