GILGIT:
The government and opposition parties of Gilgit-Baltistan have criticised the president and prime minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir for opposing provincial status’ grant to GB, according to sources.
They claimed that the statements issued by AJK leaders had hurt the sentiments of GB people, who had been deprived of their basic rights under the present system.
Addressing a press conference at the Gilgit-Baltistan Legislative Assembly secretariat here on Saturday after the first meeting of the new cabinet, GB Information Minister Ibrahim Sanai said the region had historically been part of Pakistan.
He claimed that AJK had acquired independence with the support of GB people but instead of being grateful to them, the AJK leaders were hatching conspiracies against them.
