# PoK Protesters Demand Pak Army Withdrawal, Plebiscite 2026-08-14T03:47:38+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A fresh demand for the Pakistani Army to leave Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) has erupted during protests on August 13, led by Sardar Aman Khan. Speaking at Rawalakot’s Eidgah ground, Khan called on Pakistan’s leadership to provide a timeline for withdrawal and revive a plebiscite, citing the 1948 UN resolution that mandated Pakistan vacate PoK. The resolution also required India to deploy troops alongside a UN commission before a plebiscite in Jammu & Kashmir, a promise unfulfilled for nearly 80 years. During the 67-day protest, Pakistan has labelled 160 PoK citizens and the Awami Action Committee as terrorists, says ABP News. Army spokesperson Major General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry has repeatedly called protesters terrorists. Khan also accused the Pakistani Army and ISI of introducing a gun culture in PoK, causing 150,000 deaths. ## Coverage - news.abplive.com Tags: ISI, Kashmir, Pakistan Army, plebiscite, PoK, UN resolution Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/pok-protesters-demand-pak-army-withdrawal-plebiscite/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
