US urges free and fair polls in PoK amid Pakistan crackdown

The United States has called on Pakistan to ensure free and fair elections in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), urging restraint and respect for fundamental freedoms. The appeal comes amid protests, media restrictions, and a security crackdown that have overshadowed the ongoing polls. Pakistan postponed voting in two districts due to security concerns, following demonstrations against reserved seats and a ban on the Joint Awami Action Committee.
