"Umar Nazirs record died in Poonch Division today. For months, the RAW funded JAAC & its terrorist face the JKLF, claimed full public backing in Azad Kashmir. Todays 3rd phase polling across Bagh & Haveli completely exposed that claim. In the heart of Poonch Division the very region RAW funded Umar Nazir claimed as his unshakeable bastion the people of AJK rejected boycott calls & marched straight to the polling booths.The electoral data tells the real report. In Bagh District alone, 342,857 registered voters 176,840 men & 166,017 women are voting across 613 polling stations for 73 contesting candidates, including former Prime Ministers Sardar Attique Khan & Sardar Tanveer Ilyas Khan. By keeping turnout consistent with earlier phases at 45% to 50%, the electorate has handed PMLN a clear momentum while leaving JAACs street movement stranded.Neutralising JAAC was the PPP governments duty but their inaction allowed minor agitation to grow. The pattern is too consistent to ignore: wherever PPP holds executive power, governance collapses, state writ unravels & anti state elements suddenly emerge framing themselves as "freedom fighters" from Sindh to Balochistan & now AJK. It is the legacy of a party tied to the origins of Al Zulfiqar, where political misrule routinely fuels regional instability.Today, the voters of Poonch Division delivered the final verdict. The people chose the ballot over agitation, buried JAACs record & sent Indian proxies packing."

News Analysis & Summary

Background

In a significant development today, the record propagated by Umar Nazir's JAAC in Poonch Division met a decisive end as voters in Azad Kashmir demonstrated their commitment to democracy. For months, JAAC claimed to have full public support in the region, allegedly funded by Indian intelligence agency RAW. However, the third phase of polling across Bagh and Haveli has unveiled a different report, revealing the public's rejection of these claims.

Analysis

Todays polling in Bagh District witnessed 342,857 registered voters, including 176,840 men and 166,017 women, casting their votes across 613 polling stations for 73 candidates, among them notable figures like former Prime Ministers Sardar Attique Khan and Sardar Tanveer Ilyas Khan. The voter turnout remained stable at an encouraging 45% to 50%, demonstrating a healthy engagement with the electoral process. This indicates a clear mandate for the PML-N party, underscoring the electorate's preference for stability over agitation.

The role of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has come under scrutiny, as their initial inaction towards JAAC's growing agitation allowed minor unrest to escalate. Historically, wherever the PPP has wielded power, governance structures seem to falter, leading to the emergence of anti-state sentiments, dubbed as
