August 13, 2013,  MIRPUR - People across Azad Jammu and Kashmir on Monday staged protest demonstrations against the ongoing frequent violations of the ceasefire on the Line of Control and the working boundary by the Indian army through unprovoked firing, targeting the civilian population and positions of frontline Pakistani troops as well as recent attacks by Hindu fanatics on Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi and Lahore-Delhi bus at Amritsar. Thousands of people from diverse segments, including social, political and other public representative organizations, attended the rallies held in Muzaffarabad as well as all nine district headquarters – Mirpur, Kotli, Bagh, Rawalakot, Bhimbher, Neelam Valley, Hattiyan, Haveli, Sudhanoti, and other small and major towns across AJK. “The people of Azad Jammu and Kashmir will turn AJK into a graveyard of Indian troops if Delhi commits aggression against Pakistan or AJK,” speakers warned while addressing a protest rally held here to mark the protest day against the frequent unprovoked firing by Indian troops on the Line of Control and the working boundary. “The people of AJK will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the valiant armed forces of Pakistan for the defence of Pakistan and AJK if India launches any aggression,” they declared.
