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.
In a statement issued on July 9, the committee said that after July 14, its campaign would no longer remain limited to the existing Charter of Demands, indicating that new objectives and announcements would be unveiled as the movement progresses.
“On July 15, we will march towards Muzaffarabad. After July 14, our demands will no longer be confined to this Charter of Demands. We will come forward with a new announcement,” the committee said in its statement.
Committee Signals Expansion of Protest Movement
The announcement suggests that the Joint Public Action Committee is preparing to broaden the scope of its campaign if its current demands are not addressed before the stated deadline.
However, the committee has not yet publicly disclosed what additional demands or actions will be announced after July 14.
No Immediate Response from Authorities
At the time of publication, Pakistani authorities had not issued an official response to the committee’s latest announcement regarding the planned long march or its warning of an expanded protest agenda.
The Azadi Times will continue to monitor developments and provide updates as more information becomes available.
