In this powerful and revealing interview, Justice (R) Syed Manzoor Hussain Gillani, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK), unpacks the constitutional confusion, political marginalization, and legal contradictions that define the current status of Azad Kashmir.

Azad Kashmiris carry Pakistani ID cards and passports, yet they are not Pakistani citizens in legal terms. Justice Gillani questions the silence of political leaders and outlines a practical constitutional solution — without compromising on the disputed status of Kashmir.
