'Illegitimate Children Of Heera Mandi': PoK Leader Blasts Pakistani Media, Tells Army To Vacate Rawalakot | Exclusive

Sardar Amman Khan openly challenged the ruling establishment, promising to dismantle their grip on the region

In an explosive escalation that signals a complete breakdown of Islamabad’s administrative and military control over Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), prominent civil rights leader Sardar Amman Khan has delivered a direct ultimatum to Pakistani security forces to immediately vacate the city of Rawalakot.

Addressing a massive, highly charged public gathering at the Eidgah Ground, the core member of the banned Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) openly challenged the ruling establishment, promising to dismantle their grip on the region. A visibly furious Khan aggressively condemned the state-sanctioned narrative broadcast by Pakistani media networks, which has repeatedly painted local civil rights demonstrations as a threat to the broader regional freedom movement. Refusing to accept the establishment’s propaganda, Khan slammed the state broadcasters as completely detached from the realities of the ground, dismissing them in a blistering on-camera takedown as the “illegitimate children of Heera Mandi".

Open Challenge to ‘Rawalpindi’s Puppets’

The fiery address focused heavily on the deep corporate and political subversion of local governance by external handlers. Khan openly attacked the Pakistani ruling elite, exposing them as compromised puppets operating entirely under the leverage of foreign powers. In a blunt geopolitical swipe that resonated through the crowd, Khan declared that the establishment’s true father is America, asserting that the local populace would no longer allow foreign-backed interests to dictate their constitutional and economic survival.

Khan strongly condemned the escalating state violence and heavy-handed tactical crackdowns deployed by the frontier forces. He questioned the moral authority of an administration that points assault rifles and threatens to spray bullets at its own citizens rather than addressing fundamental public demands. Emphasising that PoJK has maintained an unblemished, eight-decade history of absolute peace, linguistic harmony, and communal brotherhood, Khan alleged that any past instances of regional violence were entirely manufactured by corrupt political actors sitting in the Muzaffarabad Assembly solely for electoral gains. Proclaiming Rawalakot as the absolute heart of the resistance movement, he warned the state apparatus to retreat entirely and called on the public to assemble in full force for a decisive, irreversible march on July 15.

Intelligence Inputs: The Structural Collapse of the Proxy Haven

According to exclusive insights obtained from top Indian intelligence sources, this unprecedented internal revolt reflects a deep-seated structural breakdown within Pakistan’s economic and security framework. What originally began as a localised, grassroots protest against runaway inflation, unfair electricity billing, and the sudden withdrawal of essential wheat subsidies has successfully evolved. The JAAC has effectively capitalised on these acute economic grievances, converting them into a total, widespread rejection of Islamabad’s constitutional authority over the territory.

A primary trigger for the immense local rage is the blatant hypocrisy of the Pakistan Army and the Inter-Services Intelligence. Highly placed intelligence sources note that Rawalpindi has historically used this occupied zone as a heavily protected staging ground for radical proxy groups, actively allowing proscribed outfits like Jaish-e-Mohammed to hold open, armed rallies in the streets of Rawalakot. Today, the cash-strapped state is turning those identical weapons against peaceful local citizens while absurdly labelling civil rights activists as terrorists.

To crush the dissent, Islamabad has implemented a brutal economic blockade, cutting off critical food grain routes, flour supplies, essential medicines, and digital internet connectivity as a standard counter-insurgency measure. This heavy-handed chokehold has backfired catastrophically. For decades, Pakistan used PoJK to project global solidarity with Kashmiris, yet the sheer desperation caused by the blockade has forced local leaders like Amman Khan to openly appeal across the Line of Control (LoC) to India for urgent humanitarian aid and food supplies. With local populations now actively demanding the opening of LoC routes to escape Pakistani control, Islamabad has completely lost the narrative, shattering its historic claim to be the custodian of Kashmiri interests.
