Azad Jammu & Kashmir is protesting for Indian-Occupied Kashmir. To its credit, the Modi-led BJP abrogated the special status of IoK, closing the door for the plebiscite the Kashmiris have long awaited. The voters from IoK voted for candidates who based their campaigns on a parliamentary struggle to restore Jammu & Kashmir’s special status. For Jammu & Kashmir, autonomy is only a half-realized dream if it doesn’t come in the shape of self-determination. Having chosen the right representatives, Kashmiris have their hopes resting on the days to come when their representatives plead their case and regain their autonomy.
