Seeing the rebellion in POK, President Zardari called an emergency meeting. There is currently a war-like situation in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (POK). Kashmiri people have started rebellion against the atrocities of Pakistan. People have taken to the streets and are protesting against Pakistan.

The extremist organization Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has extended its support to the people who have launched a front against Pakistan in PoK. The TTP, which is waging a war against the Pakistan Army, issued a statement saying, ‘Tehreek-e-Taliban extends full support to the protesters demanding tax-free electricity and wheat subsidy in Pakistan-administered Kashmir.’ Appealing to Kashmiris to launch an armed struggle against the Pakistan Army, TTP said, ‘Pakistan Army understands only the language of strength.’
PTI, the party of Imran Khan, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan and who spews venom against India, has also condemned the harassment and violence against PoK peaceful protesters, calling it unacceptable. PTI said, such a policy is dangerous for Pakistan and a direct threat to democracy.
