In the past few days we have noticed Pakistan's clandestine agencies trying to 'turn the screw' on those inhabitants of AJK who openly defy their presence and interference in this territory. We witnessed a lull in their illegal activities here hitherto - for at least a few months - while most of AJK was in public uproar against their country's attempt to integrate us into their federation viz. 'proposed' 15th amendment. They've emerged from the woodwork once again to try and rebuild their damaged constituency here and re-impose the mono narrative that has damaged their country beyond repair, using all those underhand tactics that we've become familiar with over the years.

Here's an example described by Adeel Magray, spokesman for Jammu Kashmir National Equality Party (JKNEP) operating in Jammu Kashmir Gilgit Baltistan Ladakh (JKGBL) while addressing the press at Neelam Press Club in Athmaqam, where some of his colleagues have been harassed by the aforementioned agencies to try and prevent them from political mobilisation:

United Kashmir People's National Party (UKPNP) held a ground-breaking conference in Pakistan's capital Islamabad today. The coverage of it here on this weblog is merited as they attempted to invite as many political parties as possible (including myself but as I don't travel to Pakistan since 2011, I had to apologise) to deliberate on our national question.

Chief guests were Manzoor Pashteen of the Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM) and our very own Baba Jaan Hunzai of Gilgit Baltistan. Other parties that participated included; PNP (Pakistan National Party), JKNAP (Jammu Kashmir National Awami Party), KNP Karakorum National Party in GB, Kashmir Freedom Movement (KFM), Kashmir Crises Management, Kashmir Awami Worker's Party (KWAM), JKLF (Toqeer Group), Awami Itahad Party, JKLF (Rauf Group), Kashmir Plebiscite Front, Awami Worker's Party, Gilgit Baltistan People's Rights Movement, Gilgit Baltistan United Movement, Gilgit Baltistan Civil Society, Awami Action Committee Baltistan. Gilgit Bachao Tehreek, Liberation Front, JKLF (Nazriyati) and others.  

Pakistan's clandestine agencies didn't like this get together at all and they tried their best to derail it. However, as has become apparent since 2020 in particular, their grip on affairs has ebbed away. If this conference had taken place a few years ago, they may have been succeeded in their default nefarious designs.

UKPNP issued an 'Islamabad Declaration' at the end of this conference. Here's the press release written by the head of their diplomatic affairs Dr Shabir Choudhary:

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 48 of 2022

1122hrs:

Day 29 at Martyr's Square Kotli

.....

In the evening 1800hrs meet today, 10 'nationalist' parties were invited yesterday (as notified in yesterday's diary). Four came and six remained absent. It is obvious that I will have to work harder to bring them together in the future. Having said that, 4 out of 10 is not bad....40% is a pass mark:

I couldn't access an embed option and thus here's the link

I'll translate it too, for clarity:

Where at every kilometre - instead of a library or experimental lab - you will find shrines and tombs (mausoleums), there instead of scientists; wanderers (vagrants) are born.

End of translation....
