Sleeping earlier and waking earlier with incremental improvements every day is the optimum strategy.
There's a lot going on in our territory and our direct occupiers (the Pakistani State) seem to be spiralling back to their old tactics of trying to force circumstances in their favour. This is a foolish strategy which may have worked pre 2023 but is doomed to fail in the current scenario, where each and every village of AJK is determined to continue incrementally obtaining the basic rights they have been deprived of since 1947, with strong back up from our diaspora (especially in the UK).

Haroon Shamsi vs. The State of Pakistan
The above named gentleman is an aspiring State citizen of Jammu Kashmir & Allied (areas), living in the village of Mohra Dhruti in tehsil Nikyaal, adjacent to the LOC. He has recently been harassed by a Pakistani clandestine operative, who goes by the name of 'Kamran' and is apparently deputed to that region. The grounds of this harassment are a couple of short WhatsApp notes on the subject of 12 refugee seats in Pakistan devoted to the AJK Assembly, ostensibly to provide political & administrative representation to those 'Muslims' of the State who had to flee from the other side of JKA post 1947, which are under the microscope as the Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee (JK JAAC) is adamant that they are an unnecessary burden on the government in AJK, that they have nothing to do with the 'Kashmir Question' and they do not adhere to the mutual rights & responsibilities needed for taxation & representation.
Like thousands of other aspiring co-citizens of AJK Haroon Shamsi has also expressed his views in a couple of short messages via WhatsApp. The text (plus English translation) will be presented here followed by the threatening audio sent by this 'agency operative' to Haroon Shamsi.

1947
سے 1974 تک یعنی 27 سال تک مہاجرین کی 12 نشستیں موجود نہیں تھیں پھر بھی مسئلہ کشمیر زندہ تھا۔
1974
سے 2026 تک یہ نشستیں موجود ہیں تو کیا اس دوران مسئلہ کشمیر حل ہو گیا؟
حقیقت یہ ہے کہ ان نشستوں کے ہونے یا نہ ہونے سے مسئلہ کشمیر کی حیثیت میں کوئی بنیادی تبدیلی نہیں آئی۔ البتہ ان نشستوں نے سیاسی انجینئرنگ اقتدار کے توازن پر اثراندازی اور مخصوص طبقات کو نوازنے کا ذریعہ ضرور فراہم کیا۔
اگر ان نشستوں کا مقصد مسئلہ کشمیر کو اجاگر کرنا تھا تو نصف صدی سے زائد عرصہ گزرنے کے باوجود اس کا کوئی عملی نتیجہ سامنے نہیں آیا۔
لہٰذا وقت آ گیا ہے کہ مہاجرین کی 12 نشستوں کو ختم کیا جائے ۔
یہ بارہ نشستیں صرف سیاسی جوڑ توڑ کے لیے رکھی گئی ہیں۔ مسلہ کشمیر سے انکا کوئی تعلق نہیں ۔
English translation:
From 1947 to 1974 (that is 27 years) there weren't 12 (Legislative Assembly) seats reserved for refugees, yet the 'Kashmir Issue' remained alive.
From 1974 to 2026 these (12 refugee seats) have existed. In this period, has the 'Kashmir Issue' been resolved?
In actual fact, whether or not these (12 refugee) seats exist hasn't made any fundamental difference to the status of the 'Kashmir Issue'. However, these seats have certainly enabled opportunity for political engineering, affected the balance of power (in the Assembly) and provided favour (or reward) to certain (specific) interest groups.
If the purpose of these seats was to raise awareness about the Kashmir Issue then despite over half a century elapsing, no practical result has ever emerged.
Thus, the time has come to terminate these 12 seats for refugees.
These 12 seats have only been used (kept) to make or break political alliances. They have no significance in relation the 'Kashmir Issue'.

اگرپاکستان کےحکمرانوں کوکشمیری مہاجرین سےاتناہی پیارھےتو انکوپاکستان کی اسمبلی میں 12نشستیں دےدیں ۔ ویسےبھی وہ رہتے توپاکستان میں ھیں، انکاآذادکشمیرکےمعاملات سےکیالینادینا؟
English translation:
If Pakistan's ruling elite have so much love & affection for Kashmiri refugees, then they should give them 12 seats in Pakistan's National (Legislative) Assembly. After all, they do live in Pakistan. What concerns do they have (share) with matters in Azad Kashmir?
