Chaudhry Anwarul Haq, Prime Minister of Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), has stirred controversy with inflammatory remarks that many view as an attempt to align with Islamabad’s agenda. In his latest statement, Anwarul Haq declared he would not hesitate to introduce “jihadi culture” in PoJK, a move widely criticized as an effort to appease his political masters in Pakistan.
Observers see Haq’s remarks as a dangerous reflection of Pakistan’s influence over PoJK’s governance. Critics argue that his statements not only fuel extremism but also undermine the aspirations of the region’s people for peace and stability. By aligning himself with divisive ideologies, Haq appears to be prioritizing Islamabad’s strategic interests over the welfare of PoJK residents.
Activists and regional experts have condemned this rhetoric, warning that it could escalate tensions and further destabilize the region. Calls are growing for international organizations to hold leaders like Anwarul Haq accountable for promoting extremism and ignoring the pressing needs of the people in PoJK.
