# BJP accuses Pakistan of rights abuses in PoJK 2026-08-06T17:47:16+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The BJP on Thursday accused Pakistan and its army of using force against protesters in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, demanding civil and political rights. Speaking in Jammu, party spokesperson Ankur Sharma alleged arbitrary arrests, communication shutdowns, media restrictions, enforced disappearances and the use of anti-terror laws. The party said protesters were seeking fair elections, greater autonomy, lower electricity tariffs, transparent governance and investigations into protest-related deaths. The BJP also described PoJK as an integral part of India and said it would be reclaimed at an appropriate time, citing the 1994 parliamentary resolution. Its leaders urged an independent investigation into alleged killings and disappearances, and criticised Kashmir’s political parties for their response. These claims were made by BJP leaders and were not independently established in the report. ## Coverage - economictimes.indiatimes.com Tags: BJP, human rights, Kashmir, Pakistan, PoJK Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bjp-accuses-pakistan-of-rights-abuses-in-pojk/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
