Financial appeal from Pakistani/Kashmiri socialists
OP - June 06, 2011, 03:12 PM

The Labour Party Pakistan is soliciting financial support for its sister organization the Kashmir Labour Party to oppose the Islamist and capitalist parties in the upcoming elections:

Disclaimer: The Rev/Q-Man makes no claims about nor offers any endorsement of the above-named organizations, nor does he know the political finance or foreign financial contribution laws of the particular nation you are residing in, and suggests you check that first-- he merely saw this appeal on a listserve he is part of and thought the organizations requesting assistance seemed progressive and anti-Islamist and maybe some of our members, particularly of Pakistani origin, may be interested in learning more and helping out.

Azad Jammu Kashmir Assembly is a semi autonomous body working under control of the Government of Pakistan. The 49 members’ assembly (8 special seats 41 direct) has a power to elect its own Prime Minister and President; however, the Pakistan Federal Ministry of Kashmir Affairs has real power to run the government. Despite this fact that Azad Kashmir called an independent part of Indian occupied state of Jammu and Kashmir but the real situation is totally different, the area is totally under control of State of Pakistan and its intelligence agencies.

The major Nationalist political parties boycotted the election because of the condition to submit an oath as a believer of Kashmir affiliation with Pakistan; The KLP candidates had to do it and we did it under protest and keeping in the view that elections must be fought to bring our message to wider layers of the population. Now, two left wing political parties Kashmir Labour Party and United Kashmir Peoples National Parties are in field, UKPNP known as anti establishment party and its main leadership is living in exile.

So even if they win the elections, it might not change a thing.

The political set-up in 'Azad' Kashmir is cleverly crafted to deny Kashmiris self-determination.

Those left-wingers are struggling to get elected to posts subordinate to the Pakistani gov't, which has a particular agenda of its own.

I agree. Its nothing more than a pseudo state within a state, everything that matters like the economy, security and education are in the control of the Pakistani state. I want a Kashmir free of both India and Pakistan (although I prefer the latter to the former) the biggest kashmiri jihadi groups are based in the capital city of azad kashmir where they openly spew their crap, recruit and help with social welfare, I've even seen them handing out rice to soldiers These elections are like the jihadis, nothing more than proxies to keep that part of kashmir under Pakistani control.
