0034hrs:
Day 20 at Martyr's Square Kotli
Has started early; as much commotion has occurred over the past couple of hours, on either side of the midnight clock:
I had just updated some diary data for February the 1st 2022 which featured Saddaqat Mughal Kashmiri and Malik Waseem Kashmiri. A few minutes later (c. 2300hrs on 07/02/2022) I received information that the home where Malik Waseem's family was staying - after being evicted from their home in Naluchi Muzaffarabad - had been surrounded by Muzaffarabad police. They were looking for Malik Waseem who has gone underground for many days to evade the police. They - police > DC > Commissioner > an entangled web of beneficiaries want to make use of the increase in land price to evict poor IOK refugees from 'evacuee property' actually owned by POK refugees, namely the descendants of Ratan Singh and Sardar Singh of Naluchi, Muzaffarabad.
Here's the daily diary entry for the 1st of February 2022:
http://tanveerandkashmir.blogspot.com/2022/02/daily-diary-dd-day-32-of-2022.html
It has long been our primary public policy goal to facilitate the return of POK refugees and their descendants to AJK and thus facilitate the return of IOK refugees to 48% of the land and over 61% of the population of Jammu Kashmir & Allied areas (JKA). So, let us find Ratan Singh's descendants and then we can take Malik Waseem's family back to Kupwara in IOK. If you want to peacefully, ethically, legally and democratically prevent external demographic change anywhere in JKA, then I urge you to support me in time, health and wealth.
......
It has been tense since midday......While on approach to the courts and after evading the police for many days - despite their increasing vigil at his residence Malik Waseem was beaten and thrashed in public before being dragged to the police station of Saddar in Muzaffarabad, the capital of AJK.
His crime? Standing up to the 'land mafia' of Muzaffarabad.
We have the FIR (First Information Report) too:
I wrote the following note late in the afternoon:
I think all right-minded aspiring citizens of what is described as the 'Free' part of Jammu & Kashmir have long had enough of this bogus, inhumane, ignorant and personality based system which is hell bent on bargaining away 94% of the territory of Jammu Kashmir and Allied areas so that some rich, greedy individuals can exploit the poor people of 6% of JKA, without restriction and accountability.
I assure you, you will all be punished for what you're putting this poor refugee family through. Albeit in a peaceful, ethical, legal and democratic manner.
You are punishing Malik Waseem for his association with me. For his unreserved support in reunifying this State. For wanting all the aspiring citizens of this territory - irrespective of their religious identity and political ideology - to co-exist peacefully and prosper like many other human beings throughout the world.
If you (whoever represents the farce that is the AJK government) do not reinstate Malik Waseem and his family in their home in Naluchi, Muzaffarabad by midday tomorrow (Wednesday February the 9th) I will conduct a hunger strike till death at Shaheed Chowk Kotli, where I have been conducting a 'Public Policy Workshop' for the last 20 days, gradually developing liaison with Bury Park Luton (UK) to assert our right to obtain the original land record of AJK in 1947 and the population census record of 1941.
We have begun dialogue with the UK government on this matter and know that the AJK government and the Pakistani government doesn't have this record. We also know that the Indian government will not provide us with these records.
Bizarre though it is, we thank you for providing all the evidence we need against you.
Allah willing, we will prove 'right is might' once more.
.......
Here's a good report in Urdu with English subtitles presented by KFD TV News which is anchored by Nawaz Majeed. Note: He reads out the ridiculous FIR which is alleging Malik Waseem is defaming the police, the administration and others, in particular the Revenue Department (Mehekma e Maal). Let me remind you of the latter term here.
.........
I couldn't resist sharing this prompt from Facebook.
2 years and the 2 Assemblies:
AJK Legislative Assembly and Public Assembly - AJK
Loka Ni Assembly - AJK in Pahaari
Let me provide the whole note of the Facebook post above, for the reader's ease:
The 'cruel joke' behind me is the #AJKLegislativeAssembly - #Muzaffarabad - #AJK
It and its variants have successfully designed the most greedy, ignorant, lazy and public-fund-loss-making enterprise that perhaps the world has ever seen.
We created its alternative - #PublicAssemblyAJK - #LokaniAssemblyAJK
Based on well over a decade of publicly funded and rigorously researched representative public opinion data, unlike the 4th and the 24th of October October 1947, both of which referenced the 'people' of Jammu Kashmir.....but had no documentation to prove they were abiding by the majority of public opinion.
The public were not equipped to make any other decision than to tolerate or welcome the Indian and Pakistani armed forces into this territory.
In 2022 we are equipped with everything but do not know how to assemble it.
Hence, the Public Assembly - Loka ni Assembly
From AJK to #JKA
End of note....

I always mean what I say:
........
Earlier in the day somebody truncated the Facebook photo of the 5th of February with the following Urdu couplet:
وفا کی راہوں کا ہر مسافر، گواہی دیگا کہ تم کھڑے تھے❤️
It translates as:
All those that have travelled the path of loyalty, will testify that you stood.
