Seems to be another ‘GenZ’ type protest caused by corruption:
> Shaukat Nawaz Mir, who leads an alliance of Kashmir civil rights groups, had said ahead of the protests that the organisers were opposing perks and privileges enjoyed by the region’s politicians, bureaucrats and other top government functionaries.
> “When we say that we need medicines at hospitals, they (the authorities) say that they do not have funds, but they have money for a luxurious lifestyle,” he told The Kashmir Link, a local YouTube news channel.
Also TIL:
>The other main grievance is seats in the local Kashmir legislature that have been reserved for representatives from other parts of Pakistan, which Kashmiri activists say have been used to install or topple regional governments.
It’s crazy how much push-back India rolling back article 370 got considering this is how the other side of Kashmir is governed.
