ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): Several security personnel sustained serious injuries in firing by members of the proscribed Joint Public Action Committee (JAAC) in Rawalakot.
According to the security sources, the injured personnel were deployed to maintain law and order and protect public life and property when the incident occurred.
The individuals linked with JAAC seriously injured several security personnel on duty by firing and brutally torturing them in Rawalakot.
Despite all the claims of maintaining peace, the miscreants of the Awami Action Committee are engaged in violent acts in Azad Kashmir, sources stated.
Authorities further alleged that previous incidents had also resulted in casualties and injuries among security personnel and damage to public property.
According to experts, the violent acts by the so-called Awami Action Committee show that this group is committed to a provocative agenda instead of fighting for public rights.
Govt restores JAAC members’ FIRs
The Azad Jammu and Kashmir government has ruled out any possibility of holding further negotiations with the proscribed Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) and restored previously withdrawn FIRs against the action committee members.
As per details, the AJK government had withdrawn FIRs against 177 members of the Action Committee involved in violent disruptions to support the dialogue process after all the previous talks, including the negotiations held with the group in October last year.
However, the government’s Law and Justice Department has now issued a notification to restore those cases relating to ‘protest and agitation of the proscribed Joint Awami Action Committee’.
“Pursuant to the decision of the Azad Jammu and Kashmir Cabinet, taken during its 41st meeting held on 5th of June 2026, the President of Azad Jammu and Kashmir has been pleased to accord approval to withdraw the notifications regarding cases relating to protest and agitation of the Proscribed Joint Awami Action Committee before various competent criminal courts in Azad Jammu and Kashmir,” the notification stated.
