The protesters expressed their protest against the Pakistan government by singing the famous poem Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna Ab Hamare Dil Mein Hai written by Indian freedom fighter Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil 105 years ago.

In the ongoing dharna at Rawalakot bus stand since June 13, more than 15 thousand men and women together declared their desire for sarfaroshi. Along with this, the slogans often raised in Indian movements, Zulmi Jab Jab Julm Karega… were also raised against Pakistan’s army and government.

Internet services closed in entire PoK from June 5

Protesters say that internet services are closed in the entire PoK since June 5. Since June 9, people from different cities have been continuously protesting at the Eidgah ground in Rawalakot. Now the agitators have given an ultimatum to the Pakistan government and the local government of PoK till July 8. Sardar Imtiaz Alam, a member of the Awami Action Committee and one of the main organizers of the movement, told the people to start preparations for July 9 from now, because the situation may change rapidly on July 8 and there may be less time to take the movement forward.

What did Imtiaz Alam say in the meeting?

Addressing the gathering, Imtiaz Alam described Pakistan Army as a terrorist force and said that the way women came forward and fought for the release of the arrested people, is the biggest strength of the movement. He also made serious allegations against the PoK Police and said that action is being taken against the local people. He said that today the mothers, sisters and daughters of PoK are also standing at the forefront of the movement.

He claimed that the movement would not stop even if the repression continued. He said, “Your bullets will run out, but our chests will not run out.” At present, protests are going on throughout PoK and the protesters are waiting for the next step of the Pakistan government regarding their demands.
