Rationale
Multiple independent reports confirm that from early June 2026 Pakistan-occupied Kashmir saw sustained mass protests against Islamabad led by the Joint Awami Action Committee, met with a state crackdown (JKJAAC banned June 5, supply blockade, internet shutdowns, dozens killed). By the July 1 broadcast this had run for roughly a month, and slogans escalated from local grievances (electricity/wheat) to explicitly anti-Pakistan and pro-freedom chants such as 'Pak Forces Out' and 'PoK is not part of Pakistan.' Arnab Goswami's characterization of a nearly month-long open revolt with growing anti-Pakistan chants matches the documented events.
