PoK

In the Poonch area of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), police opened fire at peaceful protestors, on July 21. Several protestors were injured, and the death toll has not been revealed. As per sources, at least 65 arrested have been made, and 30 people have been booked under anti-terror laws. The protest broke out to revolt against high inflation and denial of basic human rights by Pakistan authorities, reported ANI. 

First Secretary Sneha Dubey of India on September 25 gave a befitting reply to Pakistani PM Imran Khan's statement on Kashmir at the UN. She slammed Pak for “openly supporting, training and financing and arming terrorists" as a matter of State Policy. She also stressed the point that the UTs of J&K and Ladakh “were, are and will always be an integral and inalienable part of India".

Following the election in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) on July 25, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Arindam Bagchi has termed it a ''cosmetic exercise'' and also held a strong protest with the Pakistani officials on July 29. Bagchi added, that the elections “are nothing but an attempt by Pakistan to camouflage its illegal occupation.'' However, Pakistan PM Imran Khan's PTI won the elections with 25 seats.

Indian Army's senior official Lieutenant General Paramjit Singh has denied those reports, which claimed that the Indian Army on November 19 launched a "pinpoint strike" at certain locations in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK). Earlier, few reports surfaced in media that stated an military operation was being carried out to destroy the suspected terrorist hideouts in the area. Pakistan has been frequently violating the ceasefire lately.
