Claim
Today around 80,000 people in Rawalakot, Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, protested against Asim Munir and the Pakistan army.
“आज पाकिस्तान के कब्जे वाले कश्मीर यानी पीओके के रावलकोट में लगभग 80 हजार लोगों ने असीम मुनीर और पाकिस्तान की सेना के खिलाफ विरोध प्रदर्शन किया है।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Wire-service and multiple outlet reports dated July 2-3, 2026 confirm that the 24th day of JAAC-led protests in Rawalakot drew a crowd reported at over 80,000, with speeches directed against the Pakistan Army and rejecting Asim Munir's leadership. The date, location, approximate crowd size, and target of the protest all match the claim. Confidence is tempered because the 80,000 figure traces to Indian wire agency IANS rather than an independent crowd count, and the protests are driven by a broader 38-point demands charter, with opposition to Munir and the army as one prominent theme.
