PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, whose party holds the majority in the Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Legislative Assembly, said on Sunday he would meet Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif over the current situation in AJK, asserting that issues would be resolved through talks. He said this while presiding over a meeting of the PPP AJK parliamentary party in Islamabad, a statement issued by the PPP said. The meeting was held as tensions gripped AJK, with the region’s government declaring the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) a proscribed organisation and the latter insisting on its demand to abolish 12 refugee seats in the AJK Legislative Assembly. The group also plans to hold a protest on June 9, days ahead of June 27 elections in the region. The PPP statement said the party’s political affairs in-charge Faryal Talpur was also present at the meeting on Sunday where the political situation in AJK was reviewed. “Consultations were held between Bilawal and parliamentary party members regarding the AJK situation,” it said, adding that parliamentary party members gave recommendations to Talpur on the matter. According to the statement, Bilawal expressed concern over the situation in AJK. “We have always prioritised the issues of Kashmiris,” he was quoted as saying. He added that political issues should be resolved through negotiations. “I will meet PM Shehbaz and a solution to the issues would be found through talks and the assembly,” he said. The meeting was held a day after AJK authorities launched a crackdown on the proscribed Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC), arresting scores of its leaders and activists from different areas. On Friday, the AJK government declared JAAC a proscribed organisation, days ahead of a planned protest by the group scheduled for June 9, stating that it was “engaged in terrorism” and had acted in a manner “prejudicial to peace and security” of the state. The group’s latest protest call centres on a highly contentious 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. JAAC alleges that these seats were often used by mainstream Pakistani political parties to influence the formation of governments in Muzaffarabad. On Thursday, the AJK Legislative Assembly strongly defended the status quo, backing the refugee seats and calling for elections to proceed on schedule. Meanwhile, Islamabad dispatched federal paramilitary forces to reinforce the region’s thinly stretched police force. AJK authorities have also advised intending visitors to postpone their trips until June 20, citing security concerns ahead of the planned protests. ‘Most demands fulfilled’ Earlier on Sunday, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Tariq Fazal Chaudhry maintained that most of the Joint Awami Action Committee’s (JAAC) demands, agreed between the JAAC and the government last October, had been fulfilled. “Thirty-five out of 38 demands have been implemented,” he said while addressing a press conference in Islamabad. About the remaining demands, he said the courts had issued an order regarding some and others were not feasible. He claimed “negative propaganda is being spread that the government has fulfilled only three out of 38 demands,” emphasising that the solution to the issues could not be “violent demonstrations” and dialogue should be the way forward. The minister asked if the unrest was an attempt at “portraying Pakistan and AJK as separate entities; is it an attempt to weaken Pakistan’s relation with AJK; is it an attempt to create hatred between the people of refugees from India-occupied Kashmir and the people of AJK; and lastly, is this an attempt to weaken the Kashmir cause?” He claimed that the government had not disregarded the JAAC’s demands; however, he pointed out that, “when we talk to them about resolving issues through dialogue, they respond with violent demonstrations; these are two contradictory approaches”. “The clauses that are yet to be implemented, we can still sit down and talk about them,” he said, reiterating that the solution was not violence and taking law and order into one’s hands. At the outset of the press conference, Chaudhry said that certain actors were attempting to create unrest ahead of the July 27 elections in AJK. “Attempts are being made that the violent protests that have happened in the region in the past can be revived,” Chaudhry said, recalling the unrest in the region in September-October 2025. He recalled that the JAAC was formed in September 2023 and at the time, they had three demands: subsidy on flour, decrease in electricity prices and reduction in elite privileges. “As a result of that, we saw a shutter-down strike in 2024 in AJK, accompanied by violent demonstrations,” the minister recalled, stating that the government had fulfilled all the demands at the time. He further stated that the demonstrations broke out again in September 2025, and a charter of demands was presented, listing 38 clauses, following which the government signed an agreement with the JAAC on October 4. He added that he, along with the Minister for Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan Amir Muqam, had been holding monthly meetings with JAAC to review progress on the agreement. However, JAAC still put out a fresh call for protests on June 9, he noted. Chaudhry recalled that on May 30, a committee comprising federal ministers met the JAAC in Muzaffarabad, where the demand for abolishing 12 refugee seats was put forward. He said that the government’s representatives had also suggested that an all parties meeting be called to debate the matter. “Around 2-2.2 million Kashmiri refugees are living in Pakistan, and 12 people sitting in a closed room cannot abolish those seats,” the minister asserted, adding that the JAAC’s other demands related to public welfare had been fulfilled. Chaudhry also said the government’s representatives suggested that the issue should be discussed in the AJK Legislative Assembly or taken to the AJK Supreme Court. “We requested that June 9 call be postponed by 8-10 days so we can hold consultations with our senior leadership and work towards a solution,” the minister said, affirming that the government had never refused to discuss the status of the seats. Asserting that 35 out of JAAC’s 38 demands had been fulfilled by the government, including withdrawal of first information reports (FIR) against JAAC demonstrators, reinstating government employees who took part in the demonstrations, a feasibility study on the Kahuta Azad Pattan road in the Sandhoti district, procurement of electricity meters via e-tenders, internet connectivity issues, and establishment of a garbage collection system. As per the minister, some of the other demands fulfilled by the government included amendments in the local government laws, establishment of two new federal boards, and restoration of the health card facility for AJK, among others. He added that while many of the demands in the agreement could be implemented through executive orders — around 18-19 — the rest included ongoing development projects which “cannot be completed within 3-4 months”. “It is not justified to hold long marches every six months under such circumstances,” the minister said.

LAST week, Russian President Vladimir Putin talked on several geopolitical issues in St Petersburg, which also define Moscow’s approach to China, India and Pakistan. The most interesting statement he made was that he does not believe Pakistan was under the control of China; he said that Pakistan is a large country that has multifaceted ties with different states. Perhaps he was trying to justify Moscow’s recent defence-related talks, which the Taliban regime’s defence minister, Mullah Yaqoob, used as a counter-response to the Pakistani air strikes inside Afghanistan. Putin’s message between the lines was that, as Pakistan has multifaceted ties with China, the US, and even Russia, Moscow takes the same approach in engaging with nations. After all, Russia is the only country in the world that has recognised the Taliban regime. There is little doubt that Pakistan has found its geopolitical strength through cultivating a multi-vector approach and hardly portrays itself as a passive client in its relations with the US or any other power. But every policy has two sides, and nothing comes without a cost. Maintaining a strategic equilibrium requires winning and maintaining trust at a certain level with divergent partners. For instance, Pakistan-China relations, which Putin mentioned, have entered a new domain. Formally, this became evident on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of bilateral relations between the two countries, when Pakistan’s civilian and military leadership visited Beijing and signed several MoUs. This speaks volumes: Sino-Pak relations have entered a critical new strategic phase, with these ties deepening. China is increasingly seeking to keep Pakistan firmly within its sphere of influence, shifting away from purely economic projects like CPEC towards enhanced defence and security cooperation. CPEC, which was once central to their bilateral relations, has become a lower priority, even in the context of counterterrorism cooperation. Ultimately, while China reaffirmed its commitment to provide a robust security shield, Pakistan remains responsible for its own internal economic stability and administrative reforms. While China offers significant guarantees of Pakistan’s national sovereignty, this transition creates a complex dilemma for Pakistan as it attempts to balance its ties with Western powers such as the US. Unlike Russia, China is playing more smartly to project itself as a major global power and to engage nations of the Global South through several initiatives, such as the Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative, Global Civilisation Initiative and Global Governance Initiative. While engaging nations in such initiatives, it develops bilateral frameworks of cooperation that bind countries into its broader political partnership. There should be no harm in this, but through such initiatives, China is challenging the existing Western political and security order without provoking direct confrontation. Pakistan has recently signed all the MoUs under these initiatives, which Beijing depicts as Pakistan agreeing to remain within its sphere of influence. This is the tricky part. A nation that maintains multifaceted relationships hardly follows such ideologically driven political initiatives. Putin finds Pakistan another window through which to engage and send messages to Washington. Russia also maintains multifaceted ties and is seeking to maintain equilibrium with China, India and Pakistan. However, what is common to China and Russia is the challenge posed by the US. As long as the US remains engaged in West Asia, both China and Russia benefit, as this increases their economic and political strength, while weakening US interests. Most importantly, President Donald Trump’s attention may not turn to Afghanistan, especially the Bagram base, which he has his eyes on. In this context, Pakistan is perceived as a US partner, but Beijing has its apprehensions. If Russia-Taliban cooperation deepens, the US might need to rethink Afghanistan’s status, including sanctions on Taliban assets and its counterterrorism strategy. However, one view is that Washington now has limited leverage, and that maintaining good ties with Pakistan remains its main avenue for influencing Afghan affairs. If not Cuba, or even after Cuba, Trump would certainly create an uproar around the Bagram base, and Russia is talking about a defence deal with the Taliban, even if initially it is related only to repairing old equipment under the May 27, 2026, agreement on “military-technical cooperation” signed between Russia and the Taliban. However, any defence deal with the Taliban will be viewed suspiciously, as a stronger Taliban could mean more terrorism in Pakistan. Though Russia is also concerned about terrorist networks in Afghanistan, it may prefer the broader strategic advantage. Paradoxically, Pakistan has gradually become important to Moscow for another reason — its proactive role in the ongoing mediation between Iran and the US. Putin finds Pakistan another window through which to engage and send messages to Washington. Russia has improved ties with Pakistan without endangering its core relationship with India. Yet, in recent years, Russia has cautiously courted Pakistan. Pakistan views Russia from a longer geopolitical perspective and knows that until Russia’s strategic and defence partnership with India weakens sufficiently, or India’s defence and strategic alliance with the US increases to a level that forces Moscow to review its India policy, Pakistan can afford to wait and see how this equilibrium is maintained. The perception is accurate that Pakistan is not fully under China’s control, and Beijing also wants to keep Pakistan within its sphere of influence. However, their strategic partnership will outlast economic collaborations, during which both sides will continue to pursue divergent policies. Pakistan will remain relevant to the US and Europe while maintaining close ties with West Asia, and China will continue to view these relations with suspicion. But, in the end, their strategic and geopolitical partnership will remain constant. Russia does not enjoy such privilege in India’s case. The writer is a security analyst.
