The Plebiscite Front in Azad Kashmir,[1][2] also called Mahaz-i-Raishumari,[3] was founded by Amanullah Khan in collaboration with Abdul Khaliq Ansari
and Maqbool Bhat in 1965. The organisation had an unofficial armed wing called National Liberation Front, which carried out sabotage activities in Jammu and Kashmir as well as the hijacking of Ganga. Amanullah Khan later moved to England, where he revived the National Liberation Front under the new name Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF).[4]
