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.

According to remarks attributed to the prime minister, reports suggesting ongoing talks between the government and the Awami Action Committee are inaccurate.

“There are no negotiations taking place with the Awami Action Committee,” Barrister Sultan Mahmood said, rejecting speculation about any formal dialogue process between the two sides.

The statement comes at a time when Pakistan-administered Kashmir has witnessed widespread shutdowns, public demonstrations, and increased political activity in several districts. Calls for dialogue and a peaceful resolution to ongoing tensions have been made by various political figures, civil society representatives, and community leaders.

The Awami Action Committee has remained at the center of recent public mobilization campaigns, with supporters advocating for a range of political and public-interest demands.

It remains unclear whether either side intends to pursue dialogue in the coming days. No further details were immediately provided regarding possible future engagement between the government and movement representatives.

The latest remarks are likely to draw attention as stakeholders continue to debate possible pathways toward de-escalation and addressing public concerns.
