GILGIT: Gilgit-Baltistan Legislative Assembly on Tuesday adopted a unanimous resolution demanding of the federal government to declare GB as the constitutional province of Pakistan, according to local media sources.
The resolution was tabled by Pakistan People’s Party member Imran Nadeem Shigri, and Islami Tehreek-i-Pakistan’s Captain (r) Mohammad Shafi.
The resolution noted that the people of Gilgit-Baltistan won freedom from Dogora Raj and joined Pakistan without any condition in 1948.
