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.
And by flexible, I mean: completely willing to bend whichever way they're told. No principles. No stand. Just total adjustability. They know how the political game works.
The irony is hard to miss: although they currently run Azad Kashmir as a coalition-consortium and now appear to be competitors, they’ll likely end up teaming up again. That’s how it always plays out.
They start off pretending to be rivals, then, at the last moment, forge alliances—because no matter who wins, their interests align. It’s easier to divide the spoils than to risk losing them altogether.
It wasn’t always like this. In the past, a single party might have led decisively—and that was it. Now, it’s all about partnerships of convenience—coalitions born not from shared vision, but from greed and desperation.
And once they’ve secured power? That’s when the real drama begins. The looting, the mismanagement, the backdoor deals—it all kicks into high gear. Money siphoned off, resources exploited—I swear the founders of the East India Company would be turning in their graves.
But the saddest part? All of this—the political maneuvering, the greed, the fight for control—is happening while people in Indian-administered Kashmir are shedding blood. Their sacrifices are being used as currency in this game.
That’s the real story of Azad Kashmir: seventy-seven years of this cycle. And it doesn’t look like it’s ending anytime soon.

Let it be clear to everyone: stop pretending to be the self‑appointed spokespersons of Indian‑administered Kashmir. No one trusts them.

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.

Let’s talk facts — not politics.
The PM of Pakistan-administered Kashmir keeps repeating three big claims.
First, that 70% of electricity is being stolen.
Second, that people aren’t paying their electricity bills.
And third, that his government is covering the electricity subsidy from its own resources.
But here’s the thing — none of these claims actually match the facts.
Let’s start with the theft claim.
The Prime Minister — and a few of his ministers too — have said again and again that 70% of electricity in Azad Kashmir is being stolen.
But official data tells a very different story.
