As tensions persist in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), Defence Minister Khawaja Asif on Thursday urged the now proscribed Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) to let the people of the region decide whether the 12 refugee seats should be abolished. The regional administration and the JAAC remain at odds over various issues, most notably the committee’s demand to abolish the 12 seats in the region’s Legislative Assembly that are reserved for refugees from Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir who settled in mainland Pakistan after 1947. Speaking on the floor of the National Assembly, the defence minister called on the JAAC to raise the issue in the upcoming elections, scheduled for July 27, and “take the issue to the public”. He questioned why the group was intent on deciding the issue pre-emptively, suggesting that it might be an attempt to shape the assembly “as per their will”. Asif noted that Kashmiri refugees settled in Pakistan had paid a “heavy price” to migrate to the country, and that the JAAC had no right to demand the “taking away of their right to vote”. “The AJK that we have today is due to the sacrifices made by the Pakistan armed forces and people from across the country, not just Kashmiris,” the defence minister said, asserting that 250 million Pakistanis had a “stake” in the region. He held that there was a story in every Pakistani household of the sacrifices made for the disputed region. “Does that mean nothing? I do not want to take names, but what have they sacrificed for Kashmir? They do not have any stake, nor have they invested anything in the liberation of Kashmir,” the defence minister said. The defence czar warned that if people took the law into their own hands, the government could not be expected to “stay silent”. He also recalled that Kashmiri refugees in his constituency did not have access to basic facilities such as electricity and gas due to uncertainty surrounding their status. However, “we had their status finalised”, he said, reiterating that the way forward was dialogue, not confrontation. “I wonder if this hatred has been imported from across the line,” Asif said, in an apparent reference to the Line of Control (LoC). He maintained that the group could not “take away the identity” of Kashmiri refugees, advising that the matter should be resolved in the Legislative Assembly. “How could you exclude them from the electoral process?” the defence minister said. Asif remarked that the status “Azad” in AJK had been secured and protected by Pakistanis. “The word Azad would not have been there if it were not for Pakistan,” he said, adding that the armed forces stationed atop mountains protecting Kashmir were all Pakistanis, including Punjabis, Baloch, Pashtuns and Sindhis. Unrest in AJK continues Earlier reports suggested that activists and supporters of the proscribed JAAC had reached the outskirts of Rawalakot from multiple directions, determined to proceed through the town towards the regional capital of Muzaffarabad. On Tuesday night, a large number of protesters from Mirpur, Kotli and Bhimber districts, including the town of Dadyal, had managed to enter the territorial limits of Poonch district via Tatta Pani amid reported clashes with law enforcers. Several casualties were reported in the violence, but there was no official confirmation. On Wednesday, the protesters, who had stayed overnight at different locations in Hajira tehsil, resumed their journey towards Khaigalla, some 10 kilometres from Rawalakot, where another rally from Sudhnoti district joined them. Witnesses and official sources said that by evening, the crowd had reached Chehr Bazar and camped in the industrial area near the Eidgah, on the eastern side of the town. Another group of protesters from the Mang and Thorar areas of Poonch district had separately camped at the bus terminal on the southern side of the town. A third, relatively smaller group from Bagh district had stationed itself at a high school in Kotehri village on the northern side. Residents said Rawalakot, like the rest of AJK, observed a complete shutdown on Wednesday, with public transport off the roads and only negligible private traffic visible. Throughout the day, announcements were made over mosque loudspeakers in Rawalakot, directing citizens to restrict movement and warning that anyone attempting to enter the town from outside would be responsible for any repercussions. According to local sources, law enforcement personnel had blockaded roads leading into the city and taken positions at several locations to thwart any attempts by protesters to enter. A senior government official told Dawn that Umar Nazir Kashmiri, considered a hardline JAAC leader, had reportedly submitted a “six-point petition” to the “decision-making authorities” in an effort to defuse the situation. The demands included the withdrawal of the Home Department’s notification proscribing the group, conditions related to the deaths during the protests and cases registered over them, the lifting of any restrictions on movement, and the initiation of negotiations. The petition further stated that, pending a decision, both law enforcement personnel and protesters should remain at their respective positions. The official added that the JAAC leader had assured the authorities that protesters would not move forward. No JAAC leader was available to confirm or deny the claim. Proscribed Last Friday, following the announcement of the JAAC’s June 9 strike, the AJK government declared the body a proscribed organisation, stating that it was “engaged in terrorism” and had acted in a manner “prejudicial to peace and security” of the state. A day later, AJK authorities launched a crackdown on the JAAC, arresting scores of its leaders and activists from different areas. Sedition proceedings against two of its leaders have also been ordered, and a Rs10 million reward for information leading to the arrest of four leaders has been announced. Tensions in the region particularly flared up after a violent protest in Rawalakot, during which at least four law enforcement personnel and seven civilians lost their lives. Islamabad has also dispatched federal paramilitary forces to reinforce the region’s thinly stretched police force, and intending visitors have been advised to postpone their trips until June 20.
Two Hong Kong officials have condemned “groundless accusations” against a recent update to the city’s homegrown national security law, which empowers the chief executive to certify any criminal case as a national security offence.

Allowing vehicles from Guangdong province to enter Hong Kong’s South Lantau must be approached with “caution,” Hong Kong’s transport chief has told lawmakers.

The chairman of the Legislative Council's transport panel, Ben Chan, on Thursday proposed extending mandatory monitoring systems for driver fatigue to all new private and commercial vehicles. His remarks came after Secretary for Transport and Logistics Mable Chan on Wednesday revealed plans to make it mandatory for all new franchised buses to be equipped with such systems starting next month. Currently, about 40 percent of franchised buses have installed such systems. However, speaking on an RTHK radio programme, Ben Chan said the technology for such systems would need to improve before a full rollout. “Some of the cars I have driven had monitoring systems,” he said. "However, they are not so smart. Sometimes, when I just turned my head slightly to check the mirror on the left side, the system would issue an alert. "There is also a lane-keeping system. It would make a noise and vibrate when I tried to cross to the next lane. This is quite annoying when one is driving." Also speaking on the programme, fellow transport panel member Mark Chong said he thinks a broader discussion in society is needed over the matter. “If you say that all vehicles need to install these systems, will you also require all vehicles keep the systems on? Because, from my understanding, I know that drivers can also turn the systems off," he said. "I am more concerned about commercial vehicles. Of course, for their own safety, I would suggest drivers of private vehicles install them. But whether it is necessary to make it mandatory, I think, needs to be further discussed.” For his part, James Kong, chairman of the Institute of Advanced Motorists, said he hoped monitoring systems could be connected to a manned backend control room in the future so that there would be more targeted alerts and the provision of further advice to drivers upon fatigue being detected. He also proposed that private vehicles install a rear-end collision warning system, saying that would help reduce accident rates. Edited by Tony Sabine
The Hong Kong government should expand its planned mandate for driver-monitoring systems on public buses to other modes of transport and upgrade road infrastructure as part of a multipronged strategy to cut down on traffic accidents, industry leaders have said. The remarks on Thursday followed authorities’ revelation a day earlier of a plan submitted to the Legislative Council to leverage technology to boost road safety. The Transport Department is set to conduct an in-depth study on the...
• Sanaullah says 12 reserved seats represent families displaced from held Kashmir • Opposition alleges ‘massive rigging’ in GB elections; PTI stages walkout • Minister tells lawmakers Rs5.4bn disbursed in fuel subsidy • House unanimously passes five bills ISLAMABAD: Adviser to the Prime Minister on Political and Public Affairs Rana Sanaullah on Wednesday told the Senate that 12 reserved seats for refugees in the Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Legislative Assembly would not be abolished, saying they represented families displaced from India-occupied Kashmir. Responding to a point raised by the upper house’s opposition leader, Allama Raja Nasir Abbas, Sanaullah said the seats could not be abolished through executive orders. He added that all political parties in AJK, its parliament and other constitutional forums supported retaining refugee representation within the constitutional framework. The adviser said the government had accepted 37 of the 38 demands put forward by the Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC). “The government remained engaged with JAAC for several months,” he said, adding that a written agreement was signed after negotiations on 37 demands. “The sole outstanding demand concerning refugee seats in the AJK Legislative Assembly involved constitutional and legal complexities,” he told the House. On June 5, the AJK government designated JAAC a proscribed organisation under anti-terrorism laws. Sanaullah said JAAC had initially emerged in 2023 with demands relating to electricity tariffs and wheat subsidies. He added that the government addressed the committee’s major demands by providing electricity at Rs4 per unit, subsidised wheat and a Rs23 billion relief package for the region. He alleged that certain elements sought to create instability ahead of the upcoming elections in AJK despite repeated offers of dialogue. “They knew the polls are due before August 4 and gave a call for protest on June 9 back in January,” he said, adding that peace and stability in AJK would be maintained in accordance with the law. ‘Massive rigging’ Opposition leader Raja Nasir Abbas alleged “massive rigging” in Gilgit-Baltistan’s June 7 general elections, saying the results were “against the wishes of the people”. He warned that “rigging weakened public confidence” and said “creating a distance between the people and the system” would have dangerous consequences. He also referred to recent unrest in AJK, saying political interference would bring further turbulence. “The ban on information gives rise to rumours and turbulence,” he said, adding that the people of GB had concerns about the “occupation of land and minerals by outsiders”. After Deputy Chairman Syedaal Khan Nasar did not allow the opposition leader to continue speaking on the issue, PTI members staged a protest walkout. The deputy chairman said the opposition leader should contact the GB Election Commission if he had complaints. Fuel subsidy Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb told the House that the government would continue efforts to protect low-income groups from higher fuel prices while maintaining economic stability. Responding to a calling-attention notice by Senator Mohsin Aziz, he said Rs5.4bn had been disbursed so far under a targeted fuel subsidy programme, besides Rs4.61bn in support for small farmers amid rising international fuel prices. He said an overall subsidy of Rs129bn was provided after tensions in the Middle East pushed up global oil prices. The government shifted from a general subsidy to a targeted programme for motorcycle owners, public transport users, transport operators and small farmers. Around 800,000 motorcycle owners had benefited, while financial assistance ranging between Rs35,000 to Rs100,000 was provided to passenger and goods transport vehicle owners. In the first phase, Rs3.5bn was distributed among more than 105,000 vehicle owners, while Rs1.9bn was disbursed among over 65,000 beneficiaries in the second phase through a transparent verification system. The House unanimously passed five bills: the Motion Pictures (Amendment) Bill, the Travel Agencies (Amendment) Bill, the Pakistan Tourist Guides (Amendment) Bill, the Pakistan Hotels and Restaurants (Amendment) Bill, and the Pakistan International Airlines Corporation (Conversion) (Repeal) Bill.

• Tarar asks opposition to help create ‘enabling environment’ for talks • Achakzai hints at boycotting parliament over unmet demands ISLAMABAD: PTI lawmakers in the National Assembly (NA) staged a protest against the alleged rigging in the Gilgit-Baltistan elections, as the government yet again offered the opposition to engage in dialogue on issues of national importance. “I invited you on behalf of the government to come and sit together with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to have consultations on national issues,” said Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar on the floor of the NA while replying to the allegations of the opposition leaders that the government had failed to perform. He said PM Shehbaz, at the outset of his government’s formation, offered the opposition to come to the dialogue table to sort out issues. The law minister said the opposition needed to create an “enabling environment” to address such issues. Regarding the opposition’s demand to allow meetings between PTI’s incarcerated founder Imran Khan and his family members and party leaders, the law minister said the Constitution did not allow convicts to run parties, distribute tickets for legislative assemblies, and take part in politics. About the GB polls, he said the opposition needed to provide proof for any kind of rigging. Earlier, PTI lawmaker Iqbal Afridi holding a banner against the GB election results staged a protest on the stairs of the speaker’s dais. He was also joined by another lawmaker for a demo that lasted a few minutes. During his speech, Opposition Leader Mehmood Khan Achakzai said the government had failed to run the country. He said the opposition had ended its boycott at the government’s request to show unity before a Chinese delegation that visited the National Assembly last month. However, Imran Khan was still not allowed to meet his family, friends, lawyers, and doctors. During the previous session, Achakzai had announced the opposition parties would boycott the budget if Imran Khan was not allowed the court-mandated meetings with his family. The opposition leader also noted that Balochistan, Kashmir, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were burning due to alleged excesses of the security forces. PTI Chairman Gohar Ali Khan said the government was asking provinces to collect more taxes and give them to the Centre because it had failed on all fronts. The House also passed ‘The Inter-Boards Coordination Commission (Amendment) Bill, 2025’ and ‘The Islamabad Capital Territory Private Educational Institutions (Registration and Regulation) (Amendment) Bill, 2026’. Besides these bills, several reports from the standing committees were presented in the NA. Responding to a question during the question hour in the House, Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Dr Tariq Fazal Chaudhry said Pakistani missions abroad have dedicated sections that provide necessary support to Pakistani prisoners, including legal and financial assistance, to ensure their welfare. He said the mission representatives regularly visit the jails and ensure the well-being of all prisoners. The prisoners interact with the officers of the missions during jail visits and register their complaints regarding food, medicine and hygiene, which are immediately discussed with the jail authorities. Dr Tariq Fazal said as soon as a Pakistani is apprehended by law enforcement agencies, the date of arrest and the charges levelled against them are communicated to the missions through the official communication channels of the host government. The missions tabulate the information and a comprehensive databank of the same is maintained, he said. The minister added that every effort was being made to secure the release of Pakistani hostages held by Somali pirates. The minister claimed no targeted or selective action was being taken against Pakistanis in the UAE. Published in Dawn, June 11th, 2026
