The banned Joint Action Committee’s anti-people agenda has come under fresh criticism following the circulation of a video that allegedly shows one of the group’s leaders discouraging parents in Azad Kashmir from sending their children to school.
Critics say the remarks have exposed what they describe as an agenda that works against public welfare and social development. They argue that encouraging families to keep children away from education undermines the future of young people and harms the region’s progress.
According to the video circulating on social media, a leader identified as Aman can be heard questioning the value of sending children to school. The comments have sparked concern among education advocates and observers.
Analysts say any call to boycott schools deprives children of learning opportunities and risks damaging their long-term prospects. They argue that education plays a key role in social stability, economic growth, and community development.
Experts further contend that discouraging education contradicts claims of working for public rights and welfare. They warn that keeping young people away from schools could make them more vulnerable to harmful influences and limit their future opportunities.
The controversy has intensified debate over the role of the banned committee and the impact of its messaging on society, particularly on students and families in Azad Kashmir.
