File image: Sourced In one of the most blistering public addresses delivered in recent history, Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) leader Sardar Aman Khan issued a direct challenge to the Pakistani military establishment during a massive rally at Farooq-e-Azam Chowk in Rawalakot. Speaking before thousands of cheering demonstrators, Khan delivered a searing condemnation of state corruption, political engineering, and the systematic suppression of basic democratic rights.
Demanding an immediate end to military dominance over civilian affairs, Khan called on uniformed officers to step down, remove their uniforms, and face the public directly to realise their true standing among the populace. He accused authorities of weaponising local populations in the past while routinely labelling ordinary, unarmed citizens as subversives whenever they demand fundamental necessities like functional hospitals, schools, and basic municipal infrastructure. Denouncing Systemic Marginalisation and Electoral Manipulation Addressing grievances that span across regions—from Sindh, Balochistan, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to Punjab and Pakistan-administered Jammu and Kashmir—Khan asserted that the struggle for fundamental human rights transcends geographical and tribal boundaries. He sharply criticised the electoral process, alleging that elections across the region are orchestrated through specialised administrative wings designed to maintain political control rather than reflect the genuine will of the electorate. Highlighting the stark economic divide between the ruling elite and working-class citizens, Khan noted that daily-wage earners and poor labourers pay taxes on every consumable item, funding the extravagant lifestyles and foreign holidays of politicians and senior officials.
He insisted that the opinions of generals and career politicians no longer carry weight, declaring that the voice of the common worker must remain supreme in deciding the region’s future governance. A Call for Universal Unity, Judicial Accountability, and Rule of Law Pointing to the lack of judicial independence, Khan pointedly referenced the law courts at Farooq-e-Azam Chowk, describing a breakdown of the legal apparatus where highly paid judges and assembly members fail to hold perpetrators accountable or protect civilian lives. He warned against division based on caste, colour, or creed, arguing that all oppressed populations form a single nation that must stand united in pursuit of the rule of law and constitutional justice. Concluding his address, Khan called on the public to swear a collective oath to persist in their struggle for democratic governance until their voices are respected. He warned that if basic public infrastructure and genuine representation continue to be denied, the public will move to establish a government directly accountable to the people.
