  1.  Baby Sama 712  well....: "Arif Jamal: Although Pakistan claims there is an "azad" (free) government in its part of Kashmir, in reality it is pretty much a territory occupied by the Pakistani military. The government in Pakistan-administered Kashmir follows the dictates of Islamabad and the legislative assembly makes laws that are acceptable to the Pakistani authorities. The Election Commission in "Azad Kashmir" is also comprised of members that are acceptable to the Pakistani officials. At the same time, any political group demanding independence for Pakistani Kashmir is not allowed to take part in elections. Islamabad continues to interfere in the affairs of Kashmir regardless of the fact that its laws do not apply in the territory".

  2. And do the video on both sides of the border, I have read articles about the Kashmir people on the Pakistani side that feel oppressed as well. They are caught between a rock and a hard place, I feel for them.

  3.  Baby Sama 712  I totally agree, the poor Kashmir people on the Indian side has a horrible life, I really feel for them. It was just to say that the Pakistani side is no paradise for these people either. The Pakistani military crushed the independence movement Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) brutally back 50 years ago. Its heavy military oppression ( India) vs lighter military oppression (Pakistan) today. Kashmir should be very beautiful, its such shame they got caught up in this fight between big brothers. A united Kashmir should have been given independence long time ago. Well its a brutal world and many fight for their own nation the Kurds, the Palestinians and so on. I saw a numbers says that around 60 groups of people in the world fight for their own independence right now. Its hard to see the light in that dark tunnel.
