@robert8645 – Do not relate this issue with Pakistani Army without knowing the facts as this is pure propaganda.
It is clear that Pakistan again want to suppress the already suppressed people.
In these circumstances the people of Gilgit are going to be governed by a minister who cannot solve the problems here.
Even if there are constitutional rights in Balochistan, which has a provincial assembly and have representatives in the parliament, they are protesting and revolting against this regime.
Even women and children are not spared from this brutal onslaught.
The religious bigots are responsible for 30 percent of the 100,000 people killed in Kashmir.
This is completely Indian propaganda, nothing else.
While the people of Pakistan occupied Kashmir continue to grapple with the autocratic, manipulative and suppressive rule, the military have also continued to foster fundamentalism and sectarian divide that has claimed hundreds and thousands of lives.
Even the same network has carried out Jihad in Afghanistan and also in the Kashmir Valley.
And it does not want to dismantle it because it has created the network putting in a lot of effort and exhausting lots of resources.
Here the Pakistan military is clearly supporting the Theo-fascist organizations.
This includes local true control on finance, administration and judiciary also.
One of the fundamental demands of the people here has been self-governance and transfer of powers from the Ministry for Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan affairs to the elected representatives.
Pathethic Indian propoganda
First the orator says, the guy was killed on a polling station, common sense dictates (which the Indians lack), it was a political violence,? but to make use of the video, the name of Pak Army had to be brought in.
And were the Indian propagandists not wearing glasses to have missed the Pakistani flag being flown in the background.
And in a move to counter the rising criticism Islamabad came up with the Self rule Ordinance, which the locals say is a ruse to combat the mounting international pressure.
Pakistan who has illegally occupied the region was slammed for denying political and civil rights to the people.
Even as international attention on Kashmir has invariably been focused on the tensions and conflict between Islamabad and New Delhi, people living in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir are more worried about the military occupation of the region in the virtual absence of the civil administration in these areas.
In recent years the plight of the people of this mountainous region was echoed on international forums.
