- AJK govt bans Joint Awami Action Committee under anti-terrorism act
The Azad Jammu and Kashmir government banned the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) under the region’s anti-terrorism act, citing its involvement in terrorism and disruption of the electoral process. The group’s demand to abolish refugee-representative seats in the Legislative Assembly and its planned strike on June 9, coinciding with election nominations, intensified tensions.
