As the people of Kashmir continue to bleed & slide deeper into abject poverty,their rulers in #AJK use those very miserable people as their justification to spend 100s of millions of taxpayers’ money to sustain their
own personal lifestyle @ the level of high luxury.
Within 16 months, AJK government purchased 164 luxury cars worth Rs. 870 million for its administrative and political elite in utter violation of rules.
As life-size posters Kashmiri martyrs go up all over the country to show how much we care for Kashmir in this most difficult hour in Kashmir’s history,those who claim to represent Kashmiris continue to stick to their reckless selfish ways. kashmirwatch.com/ajk-govts-race…
Coalition-Consortium: Pretend Rivals Eye Contract, Then Re‑Team to Loot Pakistan-administered Kashmir
In a year, the contract for A
Pakistan-administered Kashmir—covering the next five years—will be up for renewal.
The coalition actors currently managing the region as a consortium are pretending to act individually, each vying for control, desperate to prove they alone deserve it. But if that strategy fails, they’ll regroup—just like they’ve done in the past.
Right now, they’re all showcasing their financial strength, recruiting wealthy defectors, and making grand promises. Most of all, they’re demonstrating just how incredibly “flexible” and sycophantic they can be. Sycophancy, flexibility, and commissions—that’s the formula.
AJK’s Constitution vs Reality: A Territory Built on Fiction?
Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) does not represent the entire territory or people of the former princely state of Jammu and Kashmir, contrary to claims made in its constitution.
AJK comprises only about 6% of the original territory, covering approximately 13,000 square kilometers, and has a population of around 2.7 million.
It holds no political mandate from the people of Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir or Gilgit-Baltistan, and therefore cannot speak or act on their behalf.
Loyalty for Sale: Azad Kashmir’s Party-Hopping Olympics
In AJK, loyalty is not a virtue—it’s a liability.
Principles are heavy baggage; the region’s politicians prefer to travel light.
As election winds blow or a new prime minister is crowned in Islamabad,
a miraculous transformation takes place. The same politician who yesterday swore by ideology, qasams, and qasids suddenly develops “serious reservations” with their old party. In a touching midnight ceremony, they declare undying love for a completely opposite party.
It’s not betrayal—it’s “political evolution.
They don’t just change parties; they transcend ideology. Today with Nawaz, tomorrow with Imran, day after with Bhutto— And on Friday? All three sit together in a coalition government in Muzaffarabad, smiling like nothing ever happened.
Azad Kashmir: An Island of Perks for the Political Elite — and Rising Poverty for Everyone Else
Let me explain to you what's really going on in Azad Kashmir.
People outside Azad Kashmir — and even many within it — have no idea how this system truly works.
And maybe that's the point: it's designed to be confusing, hidden, and quietly maintained. But now is the time to speak clearly, because the truth affects us all.
On 30 November 2023, something big happened — but it happened in silence.
The Azad Jammu & Kashmir Legislative Assembly passed a new law. No media coverage. No public debate. No cost estimate. Nothing. Just quiet signatures behind closed doors.
And what did this law do?
There's a speech by the Prime Minister of Azad Kashmir that every Kashmiri needs to hear.
It was delivered on May 29, 2025, near Muzaffarabad at the inauguration of a water treatment plant. Just listen to what was said:
“This system—of which you and I are beneficiaries—was fundamentally meant to serve as a base camp for the Kashmir freedom movement. But by playing musical chairs with power, we’ve drifted far from that purpose.
"This entire constitutional structure exists thanks to the violated honor of mothers, sisters, and daughters in occupied Jammu & Kashmir; thanks to the unknown graves; thanks to the martyrs’ sacrifices. We are indebted to them.
Punjab: 130 Million People, 17 Ministers — AJK: 2.7 Million People, 32 Ministers — AJK’s Overgrown Cabinet, Built on Kashmir’s Suffering
Let me explain something that puts things in perspective.
Punjab is Pakistan’s most populous province, with a population of nearly 130 million. Its annual budget is around Rs 5.3 trillion. Despite being so vast in both population and area, its administrative setup is relatively lean.
It has one Chief Minister, 17 ministers, and just two special assistants. That’s the entire cabinet running Pakistan’s biggest province.
