Protests in Jammu against killing of civilians in PoK
JAMMU, Jun 13 (PTI): People displaced from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) held protests in Jammu on Saturday against the killing of civilians in PoK and urged the Centre to expose Pakistan’s actions before the international community.
The demonstrators, who included members of the BJP PoJK Refugee Cell and activists of SOS International, a registered body of displaced people from PoK, condemned the repression across the border and called for immediate action to safeguard the lives of civilians there.
Over 20 people were reportedly killed and scores of others injured in police action in PoK following protests against a recent ban on a Jammu and Kashmir Joint Action Committee which was agitating for subsidised electricity and flour, along with the restoration of political and economic rights for local residents.
