Police stop political delegation from entering Azad Kashmir
In Pakistan, police have stopped a delegation of the 'Tehreek-e-Tahaffuz-e-Aaeen-e-Pakistan' (TTAP) from entering Azad Jammu and Kashmir. The delegation was traveling to participate in an ongoing protest sit-in there. This incident has led to increased political tension in the area.
According to a spokesperson for the movement, when the delegation reached the border of Azad Kashmir, the police refused to allow them to proceed. Police officials told the delegation that they had received clear instructions from their high-ranking officers not to allow any political delegation to enter the territory of Azad Kashmir.
Expressing concern over this action, the spokesperson said that traveling peacefully and joining a protest is the fundamental right of every citizen. He stated that the delegation's purpose was merely to express solidarity by joining the sit-in, but the administration has obstructed political activities by stopping them.
It is worth noting that sit-ins and demonstrations in favor of various demands have been ongoing in Azad Kashmir for the past few days. Political parties say that such restrictions make problems more complex instead of solving them.
Currently, the members of the delegation are present near the border and are monitoring the situation. No detailed reason or official statement regarding this restriction has yet been issued by the government or the local administration.
