You’re listening to ‘Sonth’, a Kashmiri- Hindustani bilingual podcast on hot button historical, political, and socio-economic issues of Jammu and Kashmir.
Political activist Muhammad Sajjad Raja from Pak-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) joins Editor-in-Chief Aarti Tikoo in this episode of Sonth. They discuss the relationship between the Pakistan government and the region of PoJK comprising districts of Mirpur, Muzaffrabad, a few tehsils of Poonch, Gilgit, and Baltistan. Sajjad Raja talks about the grave problems faced by the residents of PoJK engineered by the Pakistan government and exposes their double standards on the issue of the Kashmir conflict and Pak-manufactured terrorism.
Sajjad Raja is the founding member of the Jammu Kashmir National Awami Party (JKNAP), which is active in PoJK. He was arrested in 1977 for his political involvement in the struggle to end Zia ul Haq's Martial Law. Originally hailing from the Dogra clan of Jammu, Sajjad now resides in the UK.
