Kashmir Needs Your Voice
With internet services suspended in Pakistan-administered Kashmir since 6 June 2026, timely reporting has become increasingly challenging. The Azadi Times is inviting Kashmir-based writers and journalists to join our network of authors and contributors.
Details of the Incident:
Yesterday, the minister’s car was once again stopped, and this time, the front windshield was smashed. At the time of the attack, Dr. Ansar Abdali’s children were inside the vehicle, which was on its way back home from school. Eyewitnesses reported that the driver was physically assaulted during the incident, causing significant fear and distress among the children. Fortunately, initial reports indicate that no one was injured.
The police have arrested the young man responsible for the vandalism and initiated legal proceedings against him. The arrested individual justified his actions by alleging that the government vehicle was being used for private purposes. He claimed that despite warning the minister the previous day to refrain from personal use of government resources, his advice was ignored, prompting today’s aggressive response.
This event highlights ongoing tensions between public officials and citizens concerning the misuse of government assets. The authorities are urged to investigate the matter thoroughly and ensure that public resources are used appropriately to prevent such incidents in the future.
