Pakistan Minister Labels PoK Protesters 'Enemies Like India' Amid Violence and Protests
Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif defended the use of force against protesters in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), labeling them "enemies like India." The protests, driven by demands for fundamental rights and opposition to reserved legislative seats for Kashmiri refugees, have led to significant violence, with reports of over 80 deaths since early June. India condemned Pakistan's actions, calling the ongoing elections in PoK a "cosmetic" attempt to legitimize its control amid allegations of human rights violations and military crackdowns on civilians.
