Daily Diary (DD) - Day 298 of 2021

Meanwhile, another faction of the JKLF (Toqeer Group) continues its daily sit-in protest at Shaheed Chowk, in response to yet another faux pas by Pakistan's clandestine agencies, on Friday the 15th of this month. These agents had ordered the local administration/police to raid the house of a local member of this faction of the JKLF and seize what amounted to about 100,000 copies of their 'declaration of independence', announced at Palandri on the 4th of September.
