Kotli: (Azadi Times) – In a remarkable show of resilience and determination, residents of Azad Kashmir (Pakistani-administered) have been engaged in an ongoing protest for over 37 days, led by the prominent pro-freedom leader, Dr. Toqeer Gillani.
This protest, which initially began as a demonstration against rising electricity prices, expensive flour, and unjust taxes imposed by the government, has now transformed into a full-fledged civil disobedience movement.
Dr. Toqeer Gillani, known for his unwavering commitment to the cause of Azad Kashmir’s freedom, has been at the forefront of this public outcry. The people of Azad Kashmir have united behind his leadership to voice their demands and stand against economic hardships imposed upon them.

Several other protest camps have been set up in various locations across Azad Jammu Kashmir, indicating the widespread support and solidarity for the cause.
