IC JK NAP leaders have condemned the state brutalities in Mirpur and Rawalakot city (POK)

International Council Jammu Kashmir National Awami party ( IC JK NAP) leaders have condemned the state brutalities in Mirpur and Rawalakot city. Local people have been demanding electricity shortage and protested against WAPDA authorities. It is highly condemnable act that Pakistani state has been looting POK resources since its occupation but when our people have demanded nothing but only no load shedding and they met police brutality. It is only place where under Pakistani occupation where little demands of even electricity has been considered sin. We have seen people have been doing the same thing all over Pakistani cities but they have no problems at they can go violent but our peaceful citizen have been brutalized by state police to please Pakistani state authorities. Kashmiris under Pakistani occupation have lost every thing even right of protest against injustices too.

IC JK NAP demanding that POK Govt immediately take over the Mangla dam and declares it state property without wasting any time. Mangla was constructed in our ancestral graves, old Mirpur city was completely drown in to dam water, neither people have been compensated yet after 42 years nor provided any electricity to our POK cities and towns from this dam. POK Govt must announce immediately Mangla dam as its state property and providing electricity to POK region extra electricity can sell to Punjab Govt on market rates. As we all know that Maharaja Hari Singh used to get money from Punjab Govt from rivers and other natural resources and British Govt used to pay for water. POK Govt must immediately take one more step, Make Pakistani Givt to pay its previous balances from Mangla dam since 42 years in full amount according to its own market rates which WAPDA(Water and Power Development Authority Pakistan)
has been charging from our people. Mangla dam is our state property no matter what Pakistani state says. We need our money after construction expenses of the dam, other remaining balance must be immediately paid. If POK Govt is unable to demand all this then immediately step down. As long as we do not have our representative Govt in POK we must demand that first we need our real Govt which can be elected by local people not Islamabad. Islamabad has has been imposed over us a colonial administration and people do not accept it because this POK Govt has been badly failed to even protect our peaceful citizen. Pakistani state secret agencies do not even trust our police and local authorities at all that is why in Mirpur they called in Punjab constabulary. What happened in Rawalakot city is only an act of pleasing Pakistani authorities. We demand that all those involved in brutalities must be immediately suspended and investigation must hold by local High court judge. We demand POK Govt must take up necessary steps to resolve this electricity issue with local people.
