Are people from POK demanding freedom from Pakistan?

The people of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK), also known as Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), have been demanding freedom from Pakistan for many years. They argue that Pakistan has not fulfilled its promises of self-governance and has imposed a puppet government in the region. The people of POK claim that their political, economic, and social rights have been violated by Pakistan and that they have been denied basic freedoms.

The POK Freedom Movement started in the late 1980s and gained momentum in the 1990s. It has been a peaceful movement for the most part, but there have been incidents of violence and suppression by Pakistani authorities. The movement has been led by various political and social organizations, including the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) and the All Parties National Alliance (APNA).

Recently, the POK Freedom Movement has gained international attention due to the growing human rights violations in the region. Many international organizations and human rights activists have condemned the actions of the Pakistani government in POK and have called for the freedom of the region. The United Nations has also passed resolutions calling for a plebiscite in the region to determine its future.

The future prospects of the POK Freedom Movement are uncertain. Pakistan has been suppressing the movement for many years, and it is unlikely that it will give up control of the region voluntarily. However, the growing international pressure and support for the movement may force Pakistan to reconsider its policies towards the region.
