There is always a lot brewing under the surface of public life in AJK but the list of public interest issues are rapidly piling up, almost in sync with the summer heat. The governing structure remains archaic as does a lot of the public activism confronting it.
The archaic governing structure persists because self interest in the local population remains dominant over public interest.
That is not entirely true of the whole population and an increasingly levelling 'playing field' provided by communications technology is giving bold armour to citizens to sway towards public interest.
The number of politicians, activists, journalists and even young doctors of all political persuasion encountering threats to their existence is rising too. This is a sign that the Pakistani State is hurtling towards a fiasco in Jammu Kashmir & Allied.
It doesn't want to change its opaque and obfuscating approach to this territory.
Threatening the people of this territory to 'fall in line' with the Pakistani State's myopic and utterly selfish approach is likely to incense and embolden the local people even more.
