GB's aspirations

[third eye]

Here is the link to the article, I am reproducing excerpts which were an education to me.

If a regular Pakistani can acquire property in GB, why do pakistanis object when similar suggestions come from Indian for J&K ?

GB’s aspirations - Newspaper - DAWN.COM

GILGIT-BALTISTAN has spoken loud and clear. It has given an unambiguous mandate to the party ruling at the centre. This is no surprise as in the previous elections too the then-ruling PPP had mustered similar numbers.

The PPP had taken all three major legal initiatives (in 1974, 1994 and 2009) to improve governance in this area. Being the sole champion of popular causes, it had deep roots in local politics.

.........
Pakistan’s Citizenship Act extends to GB and after the abolition of the State Subject Rule in 1974, Pakistanis can buy land there. There is no bar on movement to or from the area or on conducting business there, which makes it a part of Pakistan for all practical purposes. Yet our Constitution does not accept this reality.

The ambiguity is further compounded by GB’s dubious relationship with Azad Jammu and Kashmir which, in contrast, has a constitution of its own. Pakistan wrested control of GB under the Karachi Agreement of 1948 with representatives of AJK. GB nationalists object to this as they were not represented in those talks.

I don't understand the logic behind any thing these days. If anyone is interested, read this: Territorial limits

"In 1993, AJK High Court had declared GB a part of AJK. The decision was later overturned by its Supreme Court. In 1999, the Supreme Court of Pakistan declared GB a part of Pakistan and directed the government to take steps in this regard. But the steps taken by the government essentially gave the previous arrangement the garb of new, more democratic-looking jargon and again opted to leave the status of the area ambiguous."

That being said Indian brothers should not confuse themselves, there is no such thing as forceful invasion. There is no such thing as Anti-Pakistan or anti-army type of thing going on in the region. People of GB are known for their patriotism and have fought for the safety of our mother land(Pakistan). Look at NLI's role in Kargil or in general. NLI has done and doing a great service to Pakistan. Gilgiti's are proud to be a part of Pakistan. The solution is simple to GB's problems give representation in NA and senate, i still can't think of anything obstructing the state from doing so. Pure ignorance and stupidity. I still feel there is no issue, after terrorism that needs to be dealt with immediately.
Have a good day.

General misconception. Needs to be corrected. Being a Gilgiti it's my duty to take this confusion away, do you see any point in lying to yourself. This is most certainly part of the topic. Many Indian brothers on this forum are confused about this topic.

They are not confused. They just lie to themselves.

It was for general viewer. Many Indian members have wrong idea about Gilgit and Gilgitis, i'm simply taking away their confusion, something i felt that needs to be done. Then again delusion is never helpful.

Stupid Nehru and Stupid UN. Sardar Patel should have dealt with Kashmir as he dealt with all others. We would have crushed the Pakis and forever solved the problem. Now we end up with a third of Kashmir lost and Art. 370.

You couldn't afford a war, so couldn't we. Gilgitis are happy where they are today.
