RAWALAKOT: Negotiations between the government and a banned Action Committee have concluded successfully, resulting in the postponement of the committee’s planned march toward Muzaffarabad, according to official sources.
The talks ended with both sides reaching an understanding that led the committee to defer its protest march until July 21.
Sources said the decision was taken after government representatives assured the committee that efforts would be made to address its demands through dialogue.
A representative of the banned Action Committee said the government had given assurances that the group’s concerns would be resolved. However, the leader warned that if the promised commitments are not fulfilled, the committee will resume its planned protest.
“If our demands are not accepted, we will begin the march on July 22,” the committee representative said.
The negotiations were aimed at preventing further escalation and encouraging a peaceful resolution through dialogue. While the specific demands discussed during the talks were not disclosed, both sides reportedly agreed to allow additional time for consultations.
The postponement of the march is expected to ease immediate tensions in the region and provide an opportunity for continued engagement between the government and the committee.
No further details regarding the agreement or the government’s proposed measures have been officially released. Authorities are expected to continue discussions with stakeholders in an effort to reach a lasting resolution before the new deadline.
The development comes as officials seek to maintain public order while addressing concerns raised by the protesting group. Whether the postponed march proceeds after July 21 will likely depend on the outcome of ongoing negotiations and the government’s response to the committee’s demands.
