So, there is now a growing perception that those who struggle for freedom or fundamental rights in AJK are being pushed against a wall.
The gap of relative intolerance displayed by the occupying powers on either side of JKA is being rapidly narrowed, it is perceived.
There were many other arrests yesterday and have continued today throughout AJK, particularly in Rawalakot and Muzaffarabad. Activists of JKNAP, its student wing JKNSF and now UKPNP have been detained. Simultaneously, there has been a sharp increase in the volume of protests by the general public, particularly in reference to the shortage of electricity delivered throughout AJK. Some areas even report a pattern of 1 hour on and 3 hours off throughout the 24 hour cycle.
Here's just one example of arrests being made today in Muzaffarabad:

Meanwhile, let's take you back to the British colonial age in India for a moment, via Gilgit Baltistan. We can borrow an Urdu phrase framed by the iconic activist Shafqat Inqalabi of Ghizer yesterday:
Translated thus:
Those cursed creatures who proclaim that they obtained freedom for the sake of cow's meat, what do they know that the English used them in the name of the cow to accomplish their motives.
End of translation....
I would suggest that our people are still a million years behind European colonial strategy. We need to catch up real fast or else we'll disappear as a political entity.
