India accused of promoting banned committee narrat…
India has allegedly stepped up efforts to promote the narrative of a banned committee in Azad Jammu and Kashmir after the group failed to gain wider public support, according to security sources.
The sources claimed that Indian forces played videos linked to the banned Public Action Committee in the Keran sector on August 13 and 14.
The alleged move was aimed at creating anti-Pakistan sentiments among people living near the Line of Control.
Security officials said the videos were used to highlight the committee’s narrative and influence public opinion.
Experts believe the alleged move raises questions about possible links between the banned group and India.
They said the promotion of the committee’s material from the Indian side could indicate an attempt to exploit political and social issues in Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
Defence analyst and retired Major General Zahid Mahmood said people were already aware of claims regarding foreign involvement in the activities of the banned Action Committee.
He said information about alleged external support had previously emerged through what he described as reliable sources.
Mahmood said efforts had been made to develop a specific narrative about Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
According to him, the objective was to damage the broader Kashmir freedom movement and create divisions among the people.
He alleged that India and other international actors were playing a role in shaping narratives related to Kashmir.
The retired general also claimed that some international forces and media groups were helping promote these narratives.
He said such efforts could be aimed at influencing public opinion and weakening support for the Kashmir cause.
Security sources maintained that the alleged circulation of the videos was part of a broader attempt to provoke anti-Pakistan sentiments.
They said the use of material associated with the banned committee could also be intended to create political unrest and confusion among the public.
The allegations come amid continued tensions surrounding political developments in Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
Authorities are closely monitoring activities along the Line of Control and the dissemination of material they believe could fuel unrest.
