Massive protests erupted in Rawalakot in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir or PoK due to Pakistan's increased support and financing of terror activity in the region. Tired of living under constant threat and fear, residents and political activists in PoK blamed Islamabad for "providing shelter, training and finances to terror groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM)."
"We have repeatedly said that (so called) 'non-state actors' (terrorists), who are constantly being smuggled into Jammu and Kashmir by Pakistan's secret agencies (ISI), have sabotaged us. The world is now seeing it as an act of terrorism. Nobody has been listening to us," a member of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Sardar Jagir Khan said, according to a report in news agency ANI.
