By 1962, Amanullah Khan became an advocate of reunification of the former princely state of Jammu and Kashmir and complete independence from both India and Pakistan. He started a monthly magazine called "Voice of Kashmir" reflecting his ideology.[1] Jointly with G. M. Lone, a member of the Azad Kashmir State Council, he established Kashmir Independence Committee, which lobbied the Azad Kashmir government to take a more active role in the Indian-controlled Kashmir.[7] In 1964, Khan was elected as the Secretary General of the Azad Kashmir Plebiscite Front, inspired by the Jammu Kashmir Plebiscite Front started by Mirza Afzal Beg in the Indian-controlled Kashmir. Subsequently, in April 1965, the Kashmir Independence Committee was merged into the Azad Kashmir Plebiscite Front.[7][8]
