Amjad Ayub Mirza, a prominent human rights activist and political commentator from Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), has condemned Pakistan's plan to deploy an additional 14,000 security personnel in the region. This criticism follows a circular allegedly issued on June 4, 2026, by the Inspector General of Police of PoJK, which sought urgent reinforcement of security forces under the guise of maintaining peace. Mirza argues that this move reveals the 'duplicity and colonial mindset' of the Pakistani establishment, contradicting prior assurances from the Prime Minister of PoJK that peaceful public mobilization would not face coercion. He expressed concern that the introduction of a significant security presence could undermine the peaceful democratic culture fostered by the residents of PoJK over the last three years, potentially leading to unnecessary tensions. Mirza has called on the Indian government to raise this issue in diplomatic circles, asserting India's responsibility to monitor civil and political rights in territories it claims as integral parts of its nation.
