People of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir are becoming increasingly angry and alienated over what they see as a feeble government response to the weekend earthquake, a prominent PoK politician said today.
''The government is not doing anything to provide relief to people,'' Amanullah Khan, leader of the JKLF said in a telephone interview.
Khan said the Pak government response paled in comparison to that of the Indian government. ''It's a shame as the government on the other side acted promptly and provided relief and rescue in all the affected areas... People are angry here as they think Islamabad has double standards, even in handling natural disasters... The earthquake, as I foresee, will damage Pakistan's image amongst the local Kashmiris and Pakistan could lose their sympathy.''(Reuters)
