My commentary on the day:



Haven't been allowed 2 proceed beyond Kohalla despite words with DC. "Orders from above". I'm a Civil Society Activist unable 2 monitor a democratic process!


DC Sahaab..I hope u digest this msg. with the seriousness it deserves. U r well aware that I'm a civil society activist working 4 the progress of AJK. If u obstruct me from entering the city 2 observe the democratic exercise, I will possess grounds 2 describe the election malafide..there will b implications 4 Pakistan's presence here vis a vis the international community...TANVEER AHMED Civil Society Forum - AJK

Just completed 2nd phase of my 'Citizenship Walk along the LOC'. Plenty of intimidation but no repetition of previous drama by PK army & agencies. Evolution?
