| JKLF to contest AJK polls on independence manifesto |
| 2006-04-26 |
| The Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) will contest the upcoming Azad Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly elections with the promise to fight for an independent Kashmir, JKLF Chairman Amanullah Khan told a press briefing on Tuesday. He called upon the governments of Pakistan and Azad Kashmir to remove the provision from the nomination papers that demands that election contestants take an oath to support Kashmir's accession to Pakistan. He described the provision as a draconian law, adding that it was against human rights and the Kashmiris' right to self-determination. |

| #1 While nonsense about "independent kashmir" might be tolerated in India, the JKLF is playing with fire if it attempts the same in Pakistani Kashmir. The Pak Army is quite ruthless. |
