United Kashmir People's National Party
United Kashmir People's National Party[1], or UKPNP, is a political party which believes in freedom, democracy and equality, and advocates an independent, united and socialist Kashmir. UKPNP envisages Kashmir as United States of Kashmir, consisting of former states of Burushal, Dardistan, Boloristan, Ladakh, Purig, Kishtwar, Duggart, Poonch and Kashmir Valley, which would be achieved through a national democratic revolution. The party was founded on 10 April 1985. Currently, it is being led by Sardar Shaukat Ali Kashmiri as chairman, and Miss Naila Khaneen as senior vice chairperson.
In May 2017 The United Kashmir People's National Party (UKPNP) during a conference held in Brussels held deliberations and came out with a statement that attempted to expose the Pakistani administration's attempts to convert Gilgit Baltistan as a fifth province of Pakistan. They also stated that this was an illegally annexation of the region that was originally a part of undivided Jammu and Kashmir. [2]
