We are being harassed because we are Kashmiris. They are only targeting the vehicles owned by Kashmiris," a bus driver said.A large number of people from PoK and Gilgit Baltistan travel to various cities across Pakistan in search of jobs and business since they have no access to such opportunities back at home.Earlier, the police and other security agencies were targeting the Kashmiris in Pakistan, but according to the latest trend, the localities have also started discriminating them.Protests were also held in other parts of Pakistan, where the Kashmiri political activists blamed Islamabad for targeting Kashmiri people and activists.Azhar Rashid, an activist of Jammu Kashmir National Students' Federation in Lahore, said while addressing a protest rally, "They carried out killings in 1980 and also in 2019. We will take revenge of Mashal Khan, a Pashtun student killed by an angry mob in 2017. We will also take the revenge of Baba Jan, a political activist from Gilgit Baltistan who is languishing in jail.""This (Imran Khan-led) government is the killer, who has snatched our rights from us," he added.( With inputs from ANI )
