Condemnations have flowed in over the Indian Supreme Court’s verdict on Indian-held Kashmir. One such unanimous condemnation and rejection of this verdict has also come from the legislative assembly of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK). The verdict of India’s top court reinstating the abrogation of J&K’s special status as rightful and lawful has been received widely as a political verdict. In giving a verdict that has appealed to the ruling party, the court has left many questions unanswered and ambiguity still exists around what the status of J&K will be. AJK assembly by voicing its rejection unanimously has sent out a strong message for people divided and oppressed on the other side.
