MUZAFFARABAD: The Jammu and Kashmir Liberation (JKLF) has agreed to call off its protest sit-in near the Line of Control (LOC) upon the insistence of Azad Jammu and Kashmir Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider and the United Nations Military Observer Group of India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) on Wednesday. Last week, AJK police place containers and patrolled the border town of Jaskool – eight kilometres from the LoC — to keep JKLF supporters from crossing the border into Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK). A delegation led by the AJK PM also met with UN observers in Muzaffarabad, and called for an end to the curfew in IOK. “India has created a humanitarian crisis in the occupied valley besides targeting civilians along the LoC. The UN must take serious notice of the situation and help Kashmiris realise their right to self-determination,” the AJK PM said.
