Daily Diary (DD) - Day 315 of 2026

1731hrs:

Day 160 and today I affirm to do everything (within a peaceful framework) to resolve this unnecessary conflict by Day 200. Of course, many thousands of us have done a lot in these past 160 days but we need to move into 4th & 5th gear during the next 40 days, especially in terms of our constitutional/legal and diplomatic strategy.

We know the Pakistani State is deeply frustrated and so they should be. While they continue to try and bolster their offensive, they are even considering air attacks to break what is effectively the people's authority in the districts of Poonch & Sudhnoti.

Today's Instagram notes:

Day 160 of Pakistan's latest illegal war on Jammu & Kashmir 

(Wed 11 Nov - Day 315 of 2026) 

The Pakistanis continue to make errors of frustration in their military operation. The more errors they make the more the public of AJK's disgust becomes apparent. They have ordered a further fleet of armoured vehicles from their country and are even contemplating air attacks if they continue to fail. 

Even at this mature stage of the conflict, the UK Government is still pretending to avoid its historic, ethical & legal responsibility towards this region. It cannot just confine its concern to British nationals here, of whom there are quite a few. 

While trying to ensure that the 2nd minute of each day's broadcast concentrates on constitutionalism, I am still struggling to apportion appropriate time. However, practice makes perfect and if our people can connect the right dots in history, we will be able to prepare that legal petition against the UK Government. 

Meanwhile, we will continue to discuss, debate, distill & dispel any misgivings about the subjects of #WarandPeace - especially from a Jammu Kashmir & Allied (areas) #JKA people's referenced perspective.

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 314 of 2026

1312hrs:

Day 159 and yesterday witnessed an escalation in public mobilisation (from 2 districts viz. Poonch & Sudhnoti) to 6 districts. The other 4 being Muzaffarabad, Kotli, Jhelum Valley & Mirpur.

I think I am now in the (perhaps) enviable position of having to explain constitutionalism to our people and our local context with respect to the rest of the world.

Meanwhile, following on from my decision to upload a 2 minute Instagram video broadcast, beginning on the day before yesterday, I will continue to copy the text of my video description here, along with the link for that day. It took this daily weblog about 18 years (2007 to 2025) to finally achieve traction with readers across the world, though admittedly I wasn't weblogging daily before 2018. However, it still took a further 7 years to gain traction. I hope it doesn't take so long for my Instagram account to reach such a level. Hence....

Today's Instagram notes:

Day 159 of Pakistan's latest illegal war on Jammu & Kashmir 

(Tue 10 Nov - Day 314 of 2026) 

There was still a flicker in Pakistan's aggressive flame last night but it didn't last long. 

Imtiaz Aslam's (core member #JK #JAAC of Sarsaawa Kotli) vehicle was attacked at around midnight on the night before last but he wasn't in the vehicle at the time. An internal investigation continues. 

In our bid to generate people's power in Luton (Bedfordshire) we have asked various co-citizens of AJK living there to embark on a campaign to persuade Rachel Hopkins MP & Sarah Owen MP to visit the women of Rawalakot, to understand an imposed conflict from 

their perspective. 

Today's broadcast was an attempt to begin a conversation on the origins of constitutionalism (particularly from a British perspective) beginning with King John and the Magna Carta of 1215 whereby the monarch's powers were to be limited by the people, although the people in action were the nobles and not 90% of the population as is the case in AJK. 

From King John in the 13th century to Ronald Reagan ('We the People') in the 20th century to 21st century Rawalakot where the Pakistani army is enjoying more powers and 

less  accountability than King John. 

Meanwhile, we will continue to discuss, debate, distill & dispel any misgivings about the subjects of #WarandPeace - especially from a Jammu Kashmir & Allied (areas) #JKA people's referenced perspective.

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 18 of 2020

2239hrs:

I could so easily have forgotten today's entry. 

Palandri was possibly the most productive of the 14 subdivisions visited so far:



......

I've been trying to explain this concept to our people in #AJK for the last so many years.

Freedom is not something that anybody can be given. Freedom is something people take, and people are as free as they want to be.#KashmiriHumEkHain #OneKashmir @sahaafi @DPachiot @KhokharSajjad74 @LoveIsLaif14 @AshirSodozai @iRaaajaa @nsiddique229 @Saraam_G @WahidKashir

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 260 of 2019

0922hrs:

The confrontation between the Pakistani narrative and the internal narrative in AJK is going to get more intense by the day:

Bhimber (POK): Public campaign has been launched for “Quit Jammu Kashmir Movement” by #PNA . All freedom lovers are requested to join #IndependentJK pic.twitter.com/y4xU1GlkVJ

— JKPNP (@JKPNP3) September 16, 2019

Translated thus:

Quit Jammu Kashmir Movement

- The formal initiation of an awareness/public contact campaign has begun from district Bhimber
- We make an appeal to all patriots of this land and pro freedom (activists/citizens) to fully participate in this campaign and to begin a struggle for a prosperous future 

The map is of all 10 districts in AJK. From South to North:

1) Bhimber
2) Mirpur
3) Kotli
4) Sudhnoti
5) Poonch
6) Haveli
7) Bagh

Today, we have managed to reclaim a 90% success rate in daily blogging this year (2019).

That is, 234 days of 260 days this year have had a daily entry: 234 / 260 = 90%

This is a marked improvement on last year (2018).

That was, 255 days of 365 days last year had a daily entry: 255 / 365 = 69.9%

Last year was a drastic improvement on all the years before, since this blog came into being in 2008: 

(Year)  (Entries)  (Annual Percentage) 

2017:     5              = 1.4%

2016:     8              = 2.2%

2015:     5              = 1.4%

2014:     4              = 1.1%

2013:     7              = 1.9%

2012:     3              = 0.8%

2011:     51            = 14%

2010:     11            = 3%

2009:    37             = 10.1 %

2008:     18            = 8.3% (217 days of 365 from when the blog was created)

That gives us a mean average from the 10 years before 2018 of:  4.4% per year

We understand that many of our co-citizens as well as the net connected world in general use other more popular platforms for putting out their story e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Wordpress etc. 

However, I prefer the functionality of this platform and it is my understanding that any aspect of my work can be referenced or pinpointed here, relatively easier than any other social media platform available.

Since yesterday, we've been hearing of rumours that the tribal Pathans (who 'helped' capsize the region of Jammu & Kashmir in 1947) are returning once again to Muzaffarabad. Here is footage from Abbotabad Adda (Bus Station) last night:

پیش خدمت ہیں قبائلی
ایک بار پھر کشمیر کے طرف بڑے جوش و خروش بڑھتے ہوئے
پچھلی بار جب آئے تھے تب ایک آزاد و خودمختار ریاست کے ٹکڑے ٹکڑے ہو گئے تھے
اللہ کرے اس بار یہ اس غلطی کو نہ دہرائیں اور ہمارے وطن کو کسی بڑے حادثے سے دور رکھیں#KashmirWantsFreedom#KashmirBleeds pic.twitter.com/CvQauH03Zp

Here's further footage of them, with captions in English this time:

Last night Qbailis Reached again #Muzaffarbad after 72 years of attack of 1947

Last time when they attacked they provide a way to indian and pakistani army to enter in #Kashmir.

Unsurprisingly, this story is getting a lot of coverage in social media throughout AJK:




These Kabailis (Tribesmen) even held a press conference in Muzaffarabad today. They didn't forget to mention that Kashmir - both sides - belongs to Pakistan, in their opinion. Here's some video footage of the press conference, courtesy Dunya News:

So, this is aggression on the part of Pakistan. The Qabaili (Tribesman) who also happens to be a politician clearly said and I paraphrase: Both divided parts of Kashmir belong to Pakistan. He also equated the Pathan tribesmen with Pakistan, Kashmir and Muslims. 

What is their intent? 

The timing of this tribal visit is not incidental. It is also clearly State sponsored. 

We need a direct forum with the UK on this matter, talking with Pakistan has always ended with silence and of late with bowed heads on their part. 

The British empire had George Cunningham as Governor of NWFP (KPK today) when the forbears of today's visitors drum beat their way from the tribal areas - along the same Braarkot entry point in J & K in 1947.  

The Pakistanis can no longer be controlling our police or our civil defence...they may well be leading us into another religious identity war......we need a local IGP (Inspector General of Police) for a start. We cannot have a repeat of 1947 except in reverse. 

That is: 

Initiatives for peace, dialogue and tolerance of distinct national(istic) narratives exist throughout J & K. The States of the world and global civil society should help us recognise these internal narratives, which are being violently suppressed by India and Pakistan. 

We could also approach this regionally but at least one of India and Pakistan will have to play 'ball'. Which will it be? 

In a personal capacity, I've had plenty of interactions with Pakistanis throughout my life and have only a few fond memories compared to the majority of those I remember for their intolerance, chicanery and use of Islam to cover their tracks.

I maybe biased on some way but I swear I had good relations with all other nationalities. I don't even remember anybody ripping me off except citizens of Pakistan, although it is possible one or two such crimes were committed by my co-citizens of AJK. Well, we have been controlled by them for 72 years.

I remember my Indian Gujerati and Bangladeshi friends in particular. They were always so hospitable, tolerant and never tried to trick me into anything for personal benefit.

Update 1830hrs:

Given the security scenario in AJK and what increasingly seems to be a not so subtle attempt by the State of Pakistan to promote freelance fighters to cross the LOC en masse, the best I can do at the minute is launch an online poll to remove the lent officer, under whose presumed command our AJK police are made to act against public opinion and public interest in AJK. A local civil intelligence mechanism and civil defence operating under the command and control of a local IG could help thwart this overbearing war narrative:



For those of you who can't read the content of the FB post above:

Measuring Public Opinion in AJK:

Having spent almost 14 and a half years on the ground in #AJK , in the interest of peace in #JandK The IGP AJK must now be an aspiring citizen & State subject of Jammu & Kashmir State forthwith.

Else we may see a repeat of 1947.

Answer with Yes, No or Don't Know (DK) before commenting please...

(Roman Urdu translation of above):

AJK me Awaami Rai ko Naapna:

Yaha Azad Jammu wa Kashmir me takreeban sadey chauda saal se zameen par kaam kiya. Jammu wa Kashmir ki aman ki khaatir - mera andaaza hayy - ke IG Police AJK ka aik purumeed shehri aur Jammu wa Kashmir ka Riyasati baashinda ab laazim hay forun.

Nahi to hum Unees so Sentaalees phir dohraengey.


Aap jawaab Ha, Na ya Nahi Pata (DK) pehle likhey aur phir agar aap ne kuch mazeed likhna hay to zaroor likhe...

A note from history:

It isn't all sweet when AJK or POK is discussed in Delhi but this could be an exception:

MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fighter Faisal Malik originates from Kotli. He made his entry today in an 'Azad Kashmir' flag. He won the bout too!



In such an heightened environment where the internal narrative of AJK is crossing swords with the Pakistani narrative, some wonder why the Pakistani media isn't giving Faisal Malik any coverage, when they acted differently to when Amir Khan won a similar title. Is it because Amir Khan originates from Pakistan?

Meanwhile, here's Faisal's next bout for those of you interested:
