Unrest in Pakistan-administered Jammu and Kashmir has led to increased tension between regional activists and the Pakistani government. In late July, activists staged protests in New Delhi, calling for international investigations into alleged human rights violations and civilian killings following a security crackdown and a "Long March" in the region.

Concurrently, the Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee (JKJAAC), a group central to the unrest, has been accused by Pakistani federal officials of being an India-funded organization intended to disrupt elections. The JKJAAC has denied these allegations of foreign meddling, asserting that its movement is an indigenous struggle for civil rights focused on electricity costs, political representation, and the availability of essential commodities.
