A member of the banned Joint Awami Action Committee, Syed Faisal Gilani, has announced his complete separation from the group.

He said he no longer supports the so-called movement. He also strongly condemned the recent violent incidents in Rawalakot.

Gilani stated that the group’s recent actions forced him to take this decision. He added that he could not remain associated after witnessing the situation on the ground.

The Joint Awami Action Committee has already been declared a banned organization by the Home Department of Azad Kashmir due to security concerns.

Authorities have intensified action against the group. So far, 72 individuals linked to the committee have been arrested in different parts of Azad Kashmir.

The situation in Rawalakot has remained tense following reports of violence. Footage circulating on social media has shown clashes with police and allegations of misconduct during the unrest.

The Prime Minister of Azad Kashmir said the decision to ban the group was necessary due to the worsening law and order situation. He stated that the developments left the government with no other option.

Advisor to the Prime Minister on Political Affairs, Rana Sanaullah, also commented on the issue. He said the group was attempting to pressure authorities through force, which the government would not accept.

He further said that intelligence agencies had been monitoring the group’s activities, including funding and organizational planning. According to him, warnings had already been issued before action was taken.

Authorities maintain that strict measures will continue to ensure stability and prevent further violence in the region.
