There is an uproar over the brutality of the Pak Army in Occupied Kashmir. In the face of criticism, Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif softened his tone on POK. He said that their government is willing to negotiate. In his words, “If there is any problem, it can be resolved sitting at the negotiating table.”

According to experts, this position of Pakistan is somewhat unexpected. Incidentally, Pakistan-occupied Kashmir has been hot for more than a year. The civil society of Occupied Kashmir continues to protest for their rights. Economic crisis, deprivation of common citizens, imposition of one after another restrictions have been simmering anger in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir for a long time. Moreover, the failure of the local administration further aggravated the protests. Voting has already taken place in Occupied Kashmir. Even so, the unrest continues. In this situation, Shahbaz says, “Even today, I believe that the process of continuing negotiations with the protesters will go further if the new government comes to power.”

Besides offering talks, Sharif drew a clear distinction between peaceful protesters and those he accused of destabilizing the region. “Those who are determined to create chaos and spread anarchy there will not be allowed to do so,” the Pakistani prime minister said. He also said that the government will adopt a different approach for those who are willing to peacefully raise their concerns and participate in discussions.

It is good to say that a couple of days before Shahbaz's comments, Rana Sanaullah, adviser to the Prime Minister of Pakistan, said, “The participants in the protest are not militants. 99 percent are patriots.” This time Shahbaz also raised the topic of discussion. In fact, the number of dead has increased by leaps and bounds in the movement in PAK, which has made Pakistan uncomfortable on the international stage. And that's why the Shahbaz government is softening the tone this time, that's what informed circles think.
