Jammu and Kashmir marks unity and development while Pakistan observed 'so-called Kashmir Solidarity Day'
Feb 06, 2026
The remarks come as Pakistan observed what it calls "Kashmir Solidarity Day" on February 5, a move that officials and analysts have repeatedly described as political posturing detached from realities on the ground in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) and Gilgit-Baltistan. Despite loud claims and symbolic gestures, the situation in PoJK continues to be marked by power shortages, deteriorating infrastructure and harsh living conditions, particularly during the winter months, with reports of prolonged blackouts even in Muzaffarabad.
