ISLAMABAD: At the request of PM Anwar-ul-Haq, the Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has approved on Sunday (23rd June, 2024) the deployment of Paramilitary Force (Frontier Constabulary – FC) to contain protesters in AFK.
It is pertinent to mention here that the citoyens of the Azad Jammu and Kashmir had recently protested against inflated bills for the electricity they were producing. During the manifestations police personnel were beaten and thrown off the hills. Later personnel of the paramilitary force (FC) too were beaten by the enraged people.
As a result of straight firing the paramilitary personnel shot three demonstrators dead. Cynics go haywire wondering what the deployment was meant for when locals were not happy about the move. Federal Govt. was supposed to provide an additional grant of Rs. 23 billion to the AJK Government, what happened to that?
