Daily Diary (DD) - Day 159 of 2026

0312hrs:

High Alert for all AJK citizens near & far:

Dozens of our civilians have been killed in Rawalakot. Dead bodies (corpses) are piling up outside Civil & Military Hospital (CMH) in the centre of the city. 

The public have retreated for the time being to regroup, while they wait for the AJK public from Muzaffarabad & Mirpur divisions to converge on the city in the morning. 

Pakistani Rangers are not letting anybody near the dead bodies and there is a clear danger that these bodies will disappear before the rest of AJK converges. 

We have tried to maintain communication with the UK Foreign Office while these killings were taking place. 

Heavily restricted communication and slow diplomatic formalities have proved fruitless in averting what will prove to have been absolutely needless killings. 

All this has happened despite an alert published at 0205hrs on 03/06/2026, at least 48 hours before this latest invasion of the territory of AJK.

With extreme regret we announce that a tragedy of historic proportions has occurred. 

Trucks covered with tarpaulin are moving towards Nala Bazaar (in Rawalakot). In which it is highly likely that our martyrs are going to (to be made to) disappear.

It is sickening for me to mention - as an afterthought - that despite trying for many hours during the day and upto midnight last night, I just couldn't obtain enough signals to post an entry for yesterday's date viz. Day 158 of 2026. 

There is a communications blockade in our territory since about 2330hrs on the 5th of June 2026 (Day 156 of 2026) but where there is clear will, there is a way but I still fell short yesterday. 

I was effectively out on 157. However, possibly as many as 300 of my co-citizens were needlessly killed in the late hours of yesterday and the early hours of this morning. 

This will prove to be a definitive watershed for our people. We will rise from this imposed tragedy and very very soon (I am writing these last few paragraphs at 0404hrs).

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 157 of 2026

1615hrs:

We are in a State of a desparately imposed war, foisted on us by our Muslim neighbour to the West, simply because it lost at the negotiation table with the Joint Awami Action Committee on the 30th of May 2026, barely a week ago. 

At least one of our co-citizens Sardar Shazaib of Rawalakot (a close aide of Umar Nazir - core committee member) was killed last night as he paid with his life for preventing Pakistani Rangers from arresting Umar Nazir. The latter is also injured although the public have moved him to a safe location. 

Unconfirmed reports of Pakistani Rangers also being killed in retaliation to this incident last night are also filtering through. Many arrests throughout AJK have been made overnight. The public throughout the territory is preparing for its own total lockdown of the territory, which should come in force by tomorrow 1000hrs at the latest. 

The following is our 3rd note to the UK government since that initial safety alert (alarm) at 0205hrs on the 3rd of June 2026:

The Might of Water

British MPs must be immediately sent to #AJK on a fact finding mission for peace

British MPs of #JKA origin to immediately visit AJK, under siege since the early hours of the 5th of June 2026, on a fact finding mission to understand a locally designed peace strategy for the region. 

People's lives and the ecology of the region matter most. What happens in this territory affects the lives of at least half the world's population. 

#AJK2UK 

#Conflict2PeaceStrategyJKA

#GeopoliticalNeutralityJKA

#WaterManagementJKA

To play an instrumental role in peace building, such an opportunity presents itself for the United Kingdom on the 6th of June 2026.

There is colonial legacy too which revives legal & constitutional angles to resolving the conflict, born out of power transition in 1947.

We wish for British parliamentarians of Jammu Kashmir & Allied (areas) origin to play an instrumental role in saving lives here, directly under attack from the immediate West of AJK.

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 156 of 2026

1152hrs:

Well, it is now confirmed that the 9 of June has arrived 4 days early! Earlier today, paramilitary forces from Pakistan have already begun entering our territory to destroy the prevailing peaceful atmosphere of dialogue and an election schedule has also been announced a short while ago, without fulfilling the conditions set by the Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee on the 31st of March 2026.

Given the nature of how matters are rapidly evolving in our territory, I will provide an embed of this morning's FaceBook Live video (Urdu podcast) just in case....

ایک مستقل پُرامن ماحول کو بار بار پُر تشدد بنانے کی قیمت اب آج 5 جون 2026 سے 10 ارب (بلین) یو کے پاؤنڈز فی کس (فی شخص) ہوگئی ہے۔

کیا یہ قیمت پاکستان ادا کر سکتا ہے؟

اگر نہیں تو وہ کسی بھی شکل کے سیکیورٹی اہلکار - چاہے وہ 14 ہوں یا 14,000 - یہاں آزاد جموں و کشمیر کی دھرتی میں داخل کرانے سے گریز کرے

!

جہاں آپ کے دلائل ختم ہوتے ہیں وہاں آپ کو دباؤ ڈالنے کی اب اجازت نہیں دی جا سکتی۔

آپ کی 78 سال سے خودساختہ اور خود سے تفویض کی ہوئی اس دھرتی اور لوگ (بشمول آزاد جموں و کشمیر اور گلگت بلتستان) کی ذمہ داری اس 5 جون 2026 کو ہی ایک تاریخی مفروضے کے طور پر ماضی کا حصہ بن جائے گی۔

ہمیں ہمارے ہم وطن (جموں کشمیر اور متحدہ علاقہ جات کے شہری) جو آپ کی فوج اور ایجنسیز میں ڈیوٹی دیتے ہیں، ان کو آپ واپس کریں تاکہ ہم جائزہ لے سکیں کہ ان میں سے کتنے یہاں (اپنی اصل آئینی اور قانونی دھرتی) کے امن کو برقرار رکھ سکتے ہیں۔

موضوع سے شہری تک کا ایک مسلسل 21 سالہ سفر، انتہائی ذاتی سے انتہائی عوامی تک۔۔

....

From the earlier hours of this morning, it was confirmed that the Pakistanis are going ahead to disrupt the peace. Here's a note preceded by the government circular communication between the Inspector General of Police (A Pakistani) and the Chief Secretary (another Pakistani):

On the 4th of June 2026, a day after the #UK government was forewarned of imminent external aggression in #AJK , a circular appearing to be sent by the Inspector General of Police (a Pakistani) of AJK police, writing to the Chief Secretary (a Pakistani) heading the AJK government/administration (both remnants of a prevailing colonial structure), that 'we' (the coloniser) need 14,000 security personnel to be hurriedly ushered to AJK to maintain the 'peace'. 

This is in direct contradiction of what the AJK 'prime minister' (a local) has taken pains to repeatedly assure the public, that no force or coercion will be used to prevent peaceful mass public mobilisation in the territory. 

This is daylight planning to inject aggression into a locally sustained peaceful environment, practiced with resolve for 3 years - where 2 way dialogue 'mukaalima' is developing as a culture & strategy - to peacefully erase the cause of conflict in our territory.

Another needless reactionary spate of killings has to be averted!

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 155 of 2026

1618hrs:

We seem to be experiencing 'Global Cooling' here in AJK as the weather which should be blazing hot at this time of the year feels almost like winter, with many hours of rainfall experienced since this morning. On the damp side, such conditions also mean absence of electricity and a gradual winding down of internet services with each passing hour.

We'll make do until we are in a position to create our own genuine people's government in our territory. This is what I've been trying to get my compatriots to concentrate on, especially since the launch of #AJKReferendum2023 in February 2023. It is now that they are finally beginning to heed my call.

....

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 154 of 2026

0253hrs:

Yes, another false start but true in every other sense!

We have reached boiling point in our differences with the powers-that-be, hitherto ruling this territory of AJK practically un-opposed.

A lot has changed in these past 3 years and our neighbouring countries are finding it difficult to come to terms with. All will be ok if the route of violence and provocation towards such is avoided by all parties concerned. Hence, the following circular drafted after a lag of 2 years:

This is a brief civil society safety alert (alarm) from the public of Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK) to the UK Government

Openly published by Tanveer Ahmed Rafique by all means available to ensure transparency and inclusivity of all stakeholders concerned, on Wednesday the 3rd of June 2026 at 0205hrs.

An independent action-oriented grassroots-funded public policy researcher, working un-interrupted on-the-ground in the aforementioned territory since April 2005, with hitherto journalistic experience of other international conflict zones & British parliamentary affairs. 

.. 

The situation in AJK, in the backdrop of a continuous 3 year long peaceful #RightsMovementAJK and its unfulfilled public demands - agreed in writing by both the government in Muzaffarabad and representatives of the State of Pakistan - has reached such a level of uncertainty that the local inhabitants are in clear danger of losing their life, wealth & honour. This creates direct concern for our diaspora throughout the world (especially & primarily in the United Kingdom).

Sources on the ground fear a '5 August 2019 Indian-controlled Jammu Kashmir Ladakh' type of operation being launched here imminently. 

Talks have hit the end of the road and final deadline on 31 May 2026, vis a vis Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee JK #JAAC and the powers-that-be in Pakistan. 

This is after months and years of a repeated cycle of dialogue, death, time-bound written promises and deadlines.

The public of AJK - ably and peacefully mass mobilised by JK JAAC - would consider further repetition of the above sequence to constitute a waste of time, energy and resources of all parties concerned. 

To maintain the peace, the local police supported by the public are most vested in peace in AJK. It is to be remembered that this is an organic rights movement indigenously created and a vast improvement on all previous rights movements in the territory - including pre 1947 - both in terms of maintaining the peace while delivering incrementally to the people. 

Critically, this movement can not afford any more deaths or even arrests, in fact any kind of harassment is no longer tolerable. At least 13 deaths can be directly attributed to reactionary external security force interventions to prevent mass public mobilisation, the latter always proceeding in an exemplary peaceful manner worthy of being described as world class. 

The movement will remain peaceful in all circumstances - all stakeholders in the territory including the Government of AJK have publicly and repeatedly pledged to ensure no member of the public or police is killed in any future mass public mobilisation, including that envisaged for the 9th of June 2026, from (Chamb) Bhimber in the South to the capital Muzaffarabad in the North.

As with all previous movements, documented evidence of multiple deaths - if not all - can be attributed to paramilitary forces entering AJK from the territory of Pakistan, in a hurried last-minute manner. 

Pakistan does have a constituency in AJK, though not much more than 10% by this stage of the movement, although at least another 20% hold it in high regard, despite respectfully disagreeing with its claim on the territory, at the cost of the legally entitled locals. 

Most importantly, the people here have come to realise that neither Muzaffarabad nor Islamabad are providing timely relief, without prejudice to our respective claims & entitlements. 

In recent years, the slogans 'Haq e Malkiyat' (Right of Ownership) & 'Haq e Hukmrani' (Right to Rule) have been echoing throughout the 1,771 villages scattered in the Western Himalayas enveloping AJK. 

(Internal) Remedy

This now requires internal dialogue or 'Androona Mukaalima', which will be a monthly all-stakeholder-inclusive internal political process, which will peacefully work out the resource delivery dilemma afflicting this territory since 1947.

While the set-up in Muzaffarabad - as an internal stakeholder - will always remain engaged in this process, the Pakistani State are at liberty to continue conferring with the Muzaffarabad government at any stage. 

In short, the internal rights movement searching for solutions internally will be a more secure way of maintaining the peace in the coming days, weeks, months and years ahead. 

We - the people of the territory at large - are not seeking external intervention from any angle of the geopolitical spectrum. We are merely sharing our concerns to the widest audience we have outside AJK viz. our UK diaspora, which will no doubt have implications for the anxiety of loved ones, deeply reliant on what has been a many-decades-old deeply integrated socio-economic relationship between this territory and the hundreds of thousands of UK citizens maintaining connectivity with their roots here.

This scenario directly impacts UK government policy and playing a part in peace would be inevitable for all affected parties; given that the people of AJK are mature enough to ensure their own security, without external input. 

For the record and as future reference for dialogue with the world, human rights documentation is also being prepared to present to the United Kingdom’s APPGK (All Parties Parliamentary Group on Kashmir), detailing all the arrests and deaths of our aspiring citizens in the peaceful rights movement since its mass public emergence in 2003.

Further Note:

This alert was initially published as an update at the following link at the time & date notified in the alert as written above.

.... 

Before the end of the working day in the UK, Imran Hussain MP put out the following video message to the prime minister of Pakistan in particular, in reference to the deadlock in talks between representatives of the Pakistani State and JAAC, giving mention to the human rights aspect too:

This was the response I sent to him:

A timely response to what has essentially emerged as British colonial legacy. 

it's good to see you standing for #Peace & #Dialogue 'Mukaalima' as is the stated aim of #RightsMovementAJK , a purely peaceful organic grass-roots rights movement operating in #AJK since 2003, as JAAC (Joint  Awami Action Committee).
