New Delhi: Massive protests are taking place in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The Awami Action Committee (AAC) launched an attack in several areas of PoK on Monday. Several places organized shutdowns and blocked roads. The protests in PoK are being attributed to anger against Pakistan. To control the situation, Islamabad has deployed a large number of security forces in PoK. Internet connectivity has been disrupted in the affected areas. 38-Point Demand AAC is a civil society organization that has been demanding reforms in PoK for quite some time. PoK has been suffering from political discrimination and economic neglect for decades. AAC has placed 38-point demands before the Pakistan government. What are the people's demands?
