Rana Sanaullah, the adviser to the prime minister on political and public affairs, warned that certain elements are seeking to create instability in Azad Jammu and Kashmir [1, 2].

The statement comes amid regional tensions and highlights the government's stance on maintaining constitutional order over street-led political pressure. By emphasizing legal frameworks, the administration seeks to discourage civil unrest as a tool for legislative change.

Speaking Wednesday, Sanaullah said that laws and constitutional amendments cannot be made through protests and violence [1]. He said that these changes must follow established constitutional procedures rather than occurring through disruptions in the streets [1].

The adviser addressed the situation in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, where he said that repeated offers of dialogue have been extended to various parties [1]. Despite these efforts to reach a diplomatic resolution, he said that specific groups continue to pursue tactics that threaten the stability of the region [1, 2].

Sanaullah emphasized that the government remains committed to the rule of law. He said that the attempt to bypass legal channels through unrest is an unacceptable method for achieving political goals [1]. This position reinforces the requirement for all political actors to operate within the legislative boundaries of the state [1].

“Laws and constitutional amendments cannot be made through protests and violence.”

This warning signals a hardening of the Pakistani government's position toward political dissent in Azad Jammu and Kashmir. By framing protests as attempts to 'destabilize' the region, the administration is prioritizing state security and constitutional formality over grassroots political negotiation, potentially narrowing the space for non-institutional political activism.
