Daily Diary (DD) - Day 210 of 2020

1043hrs:

I'm still in Mirpur and I know many of my co-citizens are waiting for me to arrive at their respective stations on my journey from Chamb to Sharda. However, I must obtain parity in the groundwork that I have done so far and its visibility on various social media platforms. Given that I've covered about 20% of my AJK wide journey thus far, it will become increasingly difficult to develop that parity mentioned above if I don't address it now.

Meanwhile, let me embed a few tweets of my co-citizens which confirm that many of us are fully tuned to what is happening around us and increasingly so:

I'll begin with some activism on the other side of JKA:

The following stunt being envisaged by the Pakistani State should be stopped in its tracks. Otherwise, it will be all downhill from here:

We need to stop them @ Kohalla & declare them as persona non grata. We want 2 avoid confrontation with the Pakistani State but it is forcing our hand with such pathetic stunts! A size-able number of the citizens of #AJK shud peacefully line up as a wall @ our border with Pakistan https://t.co/YdAjm3RcwX

Now, over to the White House in the USA, albeit a clip from last year which explains in just a few words what the internal narrative of JKA amounts to:

Finally, we return to reality in our home territory, which the Pakistanis used to term as 'base camp' to dupe us into thinking that we were free and that our territory would be used to free the Indian-controlled side:

There is a vicious attempt to control social media in Pakistan Administration Kashmir. Now if you want to run a page, you have to get registered.
