The Jammu Kashmir Peoples Party (JKPP) is a political group from Azad Kashmir. This is a self-governing area in Pakistan administered Kashmir. The JKPP works to give people in Jammu and Kashmir more say over their land. They believe in more Self determination rights for the people there.
The wider Kashmir region is divided among three countries. Pakistan controls the northwest parts, while India controls the central and southern areas. China controls the northeastern parts. The JKPP's main political activities are centered in Azad Kashmir.
Forming the Party
The Jammu Kashmir Peoples Party was started on July 19, 1990. It was formed by politicians who shared similar ideas. They were guided by Sardar Muhammad Ibrahim Khan, who helped create Azad Kashmir. In 1947, he led a fight for independence against the Dogra rulers. The JKPP was created to give people a way to work for independence and improve their society.
