again I will refer to Kashmiri friend who was mocked by a political supporter in this thread, he states that civil servants in AJK just try to survive and protect their hides by doing the bidding of storng gorups and family clans. or when the things go south they have to listen to the military officers that approach them.
most of them are busy in protocol duties and signing off the ecrouchements and legalising the usruped properties of the weak and the rivals. people from Bagh Rawalakot are arrogant racist but also very smart and among he mot educated. followed by people from Muzafarrabad. people from Mirpur and Kotli are down right goons and thugs and are despised by rest of Kashmiris and they are considered below themselves. there is morbid hatred among them and not much is done. Federal goverment subsidises them , bribes them and plays part in installing them and in return they get free reign to abuse their power. people who know stories from Mipur might know that in many cases the overseas people lose their lands and houses to local thugs.
All above might appear irrelevant to the protests, they are related due to indifference of the people running this sorry state which is smaller in size even to Attok district. there were some legitimate and modest demands and when they were ignored then this movement was joined by more hostiles and they are looking for trouble and they stirred up the situation to a point where violence errupted. the traders and ordinary people are now fedup with these protestors as well but they have no soft corner for the AJK govt and the beurocracy either.
as far as the politicians and the civil administration of Azad Kashmir is concerned, they are unphased, they will wait it out and go back to their old habits once the dust settles. the federal goverment and GHQ will take the brunt and offer bribes, concessions to those that can be reasoned with and will make few an example.
