JAMMU: Sunil Dimple, president of Mission Statehood Jammu and Kashmir, led a powerful anti-Pakistan protest in Jammu today, condemning the recent Pakistan Army firing along the border. The protest was organized to demand strong retaliation from the Indian government, including a call to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to initiate war against Pakistan and avenge the Pahalgam attack.

The protest rally, held on the Jammu-Kashmir National Highway at Rehari Chungi and BC Road, saw demonstrators burn Pakistani and ISI flags, as well as effigies of Pakistan’s Prime Minister and Lashkar-e-Taiba chief Hafiz Saeed.

Addressing the protestors, Dimple urged Prime Minister Modi to order the Chief of Defence Staff and the Indian Army to launch a full-scale offensive to liberate Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), Gilgit, and Baltistan.

Dimple accused Hafiz Saeed, the mastermind behind multiple terror attacks, of being shielded by Pakistan's ISI, military, and paramilitary commandos. He expressed strong support for the Indian government and armed forces, stating, "Jammu and Kashmir stands united with Prime Minister Modi in all actions taken against Pakistan." He further demanded the complete integration of PoK, Gilgit, and Baltistan into Jammu and Kashmir and India.

Dimple welcomed several strong measures reportedly being taken by the Indian government, including the potential scrapping of the Indus Waters Treaty, halting water supplies to Pakistan, closing the Pakistan embassy in India, withdrawing India’s embassy from Pakistan, shutting down the Amritsar-Attari rail link, and cancelling visa services for Pakistani nationals.

He also called for the closure of United Nations offices in Jammu and Kashmir, labeling them irrelevant in the current situation. Welcoming the Ministry of Home Affairs’ directive to conduct a nationwide civil defense mock drill on May 7, Dimple appealed to the people of Jammu and Kashmir to actively participate. The mock drill will include:

  1. Operationalization of air raid warning sirens
  2. Training civilians, students, and others on protective measures
  3. Implementation of blackout protocols
  4. Camouflaging of vital installations
  5. Updating and rehearsing evacuation plans

Several senior leaders joined the protest, including Happy Kumar, Suny Kumar, Rocky Kapoor, Narender Chowdhury, Sanjay Kumar, Sanjeev, Baba Gupta, S. Ricky Singh, S. Harjeet Singh, Gola, and Raja.
