People's Anti-Fascist Front

PAFF

Summary

The People's Anti-Fascist Front or PAFF for short, is an pro-freedom armed/militant organisation working to end the foreign administration and rule in Greater Kashmir from India.

 

They're a relatively new player on the militant/insurgent/separatist scene in Kashmir compared with older more well known groups. They officially came into being post-5th-August of 2019 as India revoked Article 370 and Kashmir's special status as an autonomous state.

They've proven to be one of the most effective forces, along with TRF, against the militarily enforced Indian-rule in parts of Greater Kashmir.

 

 

Main Objectives

PAFF wishes to free the areas of Greater Kashmir under Indian-control, an oppressive and brutal occupation as they've stated, and initiate a plebiscite for the natives of the region to decide as to what their aspirations and choices should be - whether it be full independence, autonomous rule under another state or fully joining Pakistan or India.

 

 

Further Information

The Indian-state has proscribed the group as a 'terrorist organisation' and claims that PAFF is a rebranded offshoot of the much larger and infamous organisation - JeM (Jaish-e-Muhammad). We've found no evidence of this whatsoever, debunking the false claims in and old article.
