However, no legal action was taken against top government figures despite questions being raised about the use of state power after this incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No FIRs were registered against the then Prime Minister Chaudhry Anwarul Haq and Interior Minister Waqar Noor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, the current Prime Minister Faisal Mumtaz Rathore, who was considered a supporter of talks with the Awami Action Committee in the past, now seems to be taking strict administrative measures through his government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The question is being raised in political circles whether the government will be able to stop the public movement through arrests and cases or will it lead to further reactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Analysts say that if a strict strategy is adopted to stop the June 9 strike, tensions may increase further. They have urged the government to ensure the implementation of public demands, agreements and the Charter of Demands so that the situation can be resolved peacefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, reactions are also coming from the public circles and echoes of the protest campaign are being heard in different areas, which is indicating the possibility of the political atmosphere heating up further in the coming days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The political temperature has started rising once again in Pakistan-administered Jammu and Kashmir, where arrest warrants have been issued against key leaders associated with the people&#8217;s rights movement after cases were filed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1006,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[40,55,79,102,34,46,37],"class_list":["post-1552","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-jammu-kashmir","tag-government-of-pakistan","tag-government-of-pok","tag-isi","tag-jkjaac","tag-pakistan","tag-pakistan-army","tag-pok"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.5 (Yoast SEO v27.5) -
