Pakistan’s Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) on Wednesday, October 23, condemned the “brutal manhandling” of the peaceful protest of people in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). It pinned the blame on its security forces and alleged that they treated the people like “animals”. The Central Coordination Committee (CCC) of the MQM accused the Pakistani military establishment of “shedding crocodile tears” for the people of Jammu and Kashmir while maltreating those staying in PoK.
