Fear of youth in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) coming out on the streets holding Indian flags have prompted the Pakistan military to empower the militant organisation Islami Jamiat e Tuleba (IJT) in every school, college and university to unleash terror and call for renewed 'jihad' in the valley.

On March 18, the youth walked miles from the city of Rawalakot to the crossing point at Titrinote demanding the opening of borders between PoK and the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

They were attacked by the IJT members while youth leaders were delivering anti-jihad speeches. Slogans such as 'Hum lay kay rahen gay Azadi (We will get our freedom),' that once echoed in Jammu and Kashmir, 'Arr par jorr do, tutay rishtay khol do (Open the border and re-establish broken relations)' are now part of every single political or social agitation across PoK.

Amid constant uproar in the valley, the Islami Jamiat e Tuleba (IJT, Islamic Students Society), gave an open call to local youth inviting them to join the jihad against India in the Union Territory of Jammu Kashmir in a recent event held in Rawalakot city in the Poonch Division of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

The event was attended by more than 200 youth who were gathered from all over the Poonch Division of Rwaalakot district in PoK. IJT is the militant student wing of the infamous Jamat e Islami and is allegedly funded and controlled by Pakistan inter-services intelligence agency (ISI). It has always been used to crush dissent against the military that pops up in educational institutions in Pakistan.
