Rawalakot, PoK, 08 MARCH, 2022: - Massive anti-government protests have erupted across Pakistan occupied Kashmir after the party head of Jammu Kashmir National Awami Party, Sardar Liaqat Hayat was arrested by the local police. Police arrested him after his protest call against the government gathered massive traction amongst the youth of the region. Several demonstrations against the unprecedented price rise and discrimination against the people of the region followed. A cornered administration then slapped a number of charges against him and put him behind the bars. Languishing behind bars for several days now, Liaqat Hayat has urged the government to take steps into the direction of people’s welfare while appealing to his followers at the same time to not give in to the coercive tactics of the government and continue their struggle for rights.
