It now seems impossible for Islamabad or Rawalpindi to run Azad Kashmir through a few puppets. Isn’t the bloodshed from Indian cannons on the Line of Control in Azad Kashmir enough? Out of approximately 4 million people of Azad Kashmir, 2 million do not even live in Azad Kashmir; they either reside abroad or in Pakistan. The demand of the 2 million is to provide the electricity produced from Mangla Dam, Neelum-Jhelum Project, or the waters of Azad Kashmir, which is about 4000 megawatts, at production cost to the people of Azad Kashmir, who need about 350-400 megawatts. The people of Azad Kashmir gave votes to Imran Khan in the last election and gave the PTI the mandate.
