Daily Diary (DD) - Day 275 of 2026

1234hrs:

Day 120 and one thing is very clear, whatever solution transpires out of this conflict will have been indigenously created by the people themselves. 

....

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 274 of 2026

1303hrs:

Day 119 and we are becoming clearer as well as increasingly determined to restore our 'Right to Rule' in AJK. 

....

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 273 of 2026

1137hrs:

Day 118 and no, the internet code hasn't quite cracked yet. 

....

Meanwhile, the following is what I wrote last night:

The political crisis in AJK has an (external) legal & (internal) administrative solution. 

The following journey has been repeated in this territory a few times since 1947 and most particularly since the emergence of Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee #JK #JAAC in May 2023.

From reacting to internal problems:

مذمت

'Muzammat' (Condemnation) &

مزاحمت

'Muzaahamat' (Resistance) 

To seeking external solutions:

مطالبات

'Mutaalibaat' (Demands) & 

مذاکرات

Muzaakaraat (Negotiations) 

It has been a journey with some notable achievements & many sacrifices by our people but to borrow a metaphor, "the dog has remained in the well".

We also need to break this recurring loop. 

From failing to achieve external solutions:

مطالبات

'Mutaalibaat' (Demands) & 

مذاکرات

Muzaakaraat (Negotiations)

To succeed in finding internal solutions:

مرمت

'Murammat' (corrective measures) &

حکومت

'Hukumat' (administration, government) 

From 

external demand

رائے شماری

'Rai-Shumari' (Plebiscite) 

To

internal responsibility

مردم شماری

'Mardum-Shumari' (Population Census) 

External problem: British colonial legacy (not United Nations) 

Internal problem: We - the people - for trying to use the power & influence of others for personal benefit or to minimise our own responsibilities while surrendering the most precious territory in the world at the lowest cost possible. 

In this (attached/tagged) PDF, mention is made of all notable figures who made a public interpretation of the Indian Independence Act 1947 (IIA1947) with reference to the future of princely States, in the wake of its announcement on the 3rd of June 1947.

All notable figures were referenced from a book written by Professor M Arif Khan of Kataar in Dadyaal. 

It is also to be noted that this (colonial) constitutional document (out of which emerged India & Pakistan) obviously preceded United Nations involvement (which has not closed its involvement to date) and the basic question we wish to put to an appropriate court in the UK, is with reference to clear British colonial involvement and execution of the acts of invading Jammu & Kashmir via Pakistan (using aggression) and India (using intrigue), remembering that according to a well known interpretation of IIA1947, the British neither retained the power to transfer any princely State to either India or Pakistan (that power to transfer was specific to those areas directly ruled by Britain hitherto) or to retain power itself. 

Yes, we most certainly require a constitutional lawyer in the UK to provide a contemporary interpretation of IIA1947 and how that interpretation may be put to an appropriate UK court; as suggested by Barrister M Asif Khan of Bihaari, Dadyaal. 

While we continue this important search I would like to make 2 suggestions that maybe more immediately processed:

1) To request Professor M Arif Khan to either write or video broadcast on this theme/subject and enlighten us further on this critical piece of research. That may even motivate a constitutional lawyer in the UK to participate in this exploration towards peaceful conflict resolution in Jammu & Kashmir as a whole. 

2) The current impasse in AJK (117 days into an imposed war by the Pakistani State in reaction to assertion of rights by JK JAAC, as on 29 September 2026) has legal implications, which have yet to be explored from a #RightsMovementAJK perspective. Developing legal clarity in matters of security viz a viz Pakistan's military presence in the territory, who effectively have a monopoly on deciding who can carry arms to protect the life, wealth & honour of citizens, which they manipulate to sustain an endemically corrupt system of governance; can pave the way for a people's self-designed/choreographed administrative solution to this impasse. 

Self-determination as timely action rather than a propagandised aspiration. 

Can any of you assist in this regard? 

In all the written and spoken information/wisdom/analysis that this independent researcher has come across while being present in Rawalakot since the 10th of June 2026 (112 days), there has been a great improvement in 'public interest thinking' at large and even the quality of artistic impression has also improved manifold from preceding years & decades, yet very little has been produced in terms of local/indigenous/people-centric solutions that propose legal/constitutional/administrative measures. Almost everybody - in some shape or form - makes what this writer describes as colonial assumptions about the 'writ of the State' and sovereignty. 

Given the parallels of Pakistan on 5th June 2026 and India on 5th August 2019 it would also be naive to try to dissect the people's right to rule prerogative from their efforts to obtain their rights. 

If Pakistan & India or for that matter Great Britain followed due procedure viz. IIA1947, they would have consulted & obtained the consent of the people of J & K before sending in armies to practically subdue the people in 1947.

The people of the State of Jammu & Kashmir have also repeatedly erred in their response. Even in a state of enforced division; aided by militarily enforced limits on expression, movement, assembly, association and recourse to law (including international law where appropriate) they could have agreed on an internal public contract with each other (aiming for 90% of any given part of the divided State) and made that clear to the world before making transparent & peaceful attempts to assert their authority in an administrative manner. 

We - the people - have repeatedly sought exclusive licence and authority from the rest of the world. Perhaps even sought privileges to rule or run business from our neighbours or even larger powers in the world, at the cost of public interest. We - the people - have externally sought confirmation of our existence as individuals, parties, movements or whatever organisational format we could adjust ourselves in; again at great cost to our State. 

Yet we didn't ever seek confirmation from each other. We didn't choreograph the shape of our own authority. That is perhaps why we clamoured for 'Rai-Shumari' from the world, without realising that conducting 'Mardum-Shumari' ourselves - in co-operation with each other - was always the secret to navigating away from conflict (and competing claims to our State), towards a locally designed peace that we would all sustain (at least 90%) because simply our lives and the lives of our future generations would totally depend on it.

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 270 of 2026

1124hrs:

On this 115th day, I think we may just have cracked the internet code, at least for the time being in any case. 

....

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 268 of 2026

1134hrs:

Day 113 and our fight for internet connectivity has got to be regarded as our toughest battle during this war. 

....

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 267 of 2026

1116hrs:

On this 112th day of an idiotic war imposed on us by a terminally ill neighbour, we are working out various means of ensuring a strong and consistent internet facility, despite the best efforts of our neighbour to prevent such. 

....

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 264 of 2026

1310hrs:

Day 109 of this war and it is still very tough work getting information & analysis out there to the wider world from the central hub of activism in Rawalakot, AJK. 

Needless to add, we are getting even stronger by the day and essentially waiting for our adversaries to realise how weak they actually are. 

....

The following note would have been posted yesterday, if such were internet facilities in Rawalakot:

AJK calling UK

#Conflict2PeaceStrategyJKA

It is important that UK MPs engage with JKA PUBLIC AGENCY for a genuinely (verifiably) independent assessment of the situation in AJK. 

Traditionally (or at least in the experience of this independent researcher) the UK State (not necessarily the government in power at any given time) 

has been more visible, responsive, approachable & engaging in these past 21 years; than has any UK MP. 

Though perhaps with the limited exceptions of Sarah Owen (Labour - Luton South) and Imran Hussain (Labour - Bradford East), the latter particularly of late. 

The UK State even made an effort to visit AJK in 2011, at this independent researcher's suggestion to interact with civil society in the territory and assess public opinion before (General) Legislative Assembly elections that year. Apparently, the Pakistani State held prerogative over whether they could visit for this purpose or not and refused. 

In the here and now more than ever since 1947, saving lives is as essential as dismantling the architecture of conflict in AJK. Colonial Great Britain had a major role in designing that architecture and has a legal obligation to assist us in removing it. 

As a genuine peace has been choreographed by the people of this territory ( #RightsMovementAJK #JK #JAAC ); our diaspora and even the people of Baltistan, Gilgit, Jammu, Kashmir & Ladakh have all contributed; especially post 5 August 2019.

(This message is as relevant for all UK MPs with stakes in AJK or its diaspora)

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 259 of 2026

0515hrs:

Day 104 already and this 5 day gap has been amongst the longest in daily blogging since this war began on the 5th of June 2026.

It is also highly likely that the current volume & extent of human rights violations in AJK has eclipsed all other such events since the illegal entry of Pakistani forces under British command-and-control in 1947.

Meanwhile, the continued detention and torture of Shaukat Nawaz Mir (since 30 June 2026) has reached farcical levels, with the recent denial by the AJK government that he hasn't been arrested at all and is being sought by the authorities! 

Here's ample proof that they are lying through their teeth:

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 254 of 2026

0649hrs:

On Day 99 there doesn't seem to be any reason that a century (in days) of a peaceful war won't be completed tomorrow, as far as the people of the territory of AJK are concerned. As for the Pakistanis, this is a violent war to maintain their relevance - if not existence - in this territory. Yet no amount of provocation on their part will entice our people to pretend that this is some sort of conventional war between 2 equally equipped counterparts. 

This writer can provide many an anecdote of the ridiculous attempts by Pakistan to make this seem to be a war against terrorists, when in actual fact it is naked aggression on their part to cover up their inability to deliver governance. Indeed, the endemic corruption that they have become so addicted to. 

....

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 252 of 2026

1209hrs:

Day 97 and we are nowhere near a solution. There are discussions going on in the background between the State of Pakistan's representatives - with AJK politicians part of the mediation process - and Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee (JK JAAC). Disturbingly, Pakistan's clandestine agencies are also a part of this discussion process, although thankfully it is only a discussion and not a negotiation. 

This writer is confident that JK JAAC can see through the deception, as the Pakistani State is only interested in crushing #RightsMovementAJK and its major proponent JK JAAC. We have noticed that the Pakistani army is working hard to sweeten the sentiments of the AJK public, particularly in Poonch where elections have not taken in 2 districts (7 of 33 constituencies viz. the districts of Poonch & Sudhnoti). Antics include driving by the outskirts of the sit-in protest and offering bottles of Pepsi, other food items and sometimes even cash in a miserable attempt to soften people's views, in consequence of the 200 or so co-citizens of ours that they have either killed and/or abducted presumed dead, since their fresh invasion on the 5th of June 2026.

Earlier, this morning this writer pillion rode with a gentleman who had just returned from visiting his 2 brothers held with hundreds of other 'prisoners' at Rawalakot police station, where there is barely space for accommodating 20 accused at one point in time. Most of these 'accused' are being held captive in the courtyard of the police station, with Pakistani Rangers standing guard along with local police. Many have been held captive without any due legal procedure - some have been there since the beginning of this war - and they given a measly meal just once a day. 

This gentleman has been trying to secure the release of his 2 brothers and the police are asking for 5 lakh rupees (bribe) each to secure their release! 

If all the above is not torture enough, many of these captives are also beaten mercilessly on a regular basis, for daring to protest peacefully for their rights.
