Tensions prevail in PoK as clashes continue between security forces and JAAC activists amid elections
Clashes are ongoing in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) between security forces and activists from the Jammu and Kashmir Awami Action Committee (JAAC), a local group. This violence is happening during elections in the region, which India views as an attempt by Pakistan to disguise its control over the area and cover up alleged human rights abuses. The situation in PoK remains tense, with India's stance on the elections likely to impact regional relations and potentially influence global trade and diplomatic ties.
