Talal flags ‘coincidence’ in PTI, banned JAAC’s protest timing

Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry addressed a press conference, presenting evidence related to the banned Joint Action Committee (JAAC) case. He revealed the arrest of three more individuals linked to JAAC, and shared audio recordings, statements, and investigation findings.

Chaudhry alleged that the timing of protests organised by JAAC in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) and those by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) showed a pattern. According to him, both JAAC and PTI had announced protests on the same date, October 4, which he claimed was not a coincidence.

The minister also accused the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government of using the worsening law and order situation for political benefits, and alleged that they had failed to fulfill their responsibilities. He claimed that a gang supplying weapons to JAAC was busted, and a person named Zia, a resident of Kashmir, was arrested.
