GILGIT:
Chief minister of Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) has a comprehensive strategy in mind to transform the 1.5 million people in GB-creating jobs, ending power outages, and providing education.
Hafeezur Rahman was appointed the chief minister of the scenic region last week after his party – the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) – swept the June 8 polls, winning 22 of the total 33 seats in the legislative assembly.
Hafeez has remained loyal to the PML-N all these years, especially through the reign of General (retd) Pervez Musharraf, when most of his colleagues had defected to other parties. “I think commitment and loyalty is what is missing in Pakistani politics,” he believes. “We need to introduce it to ensure real democracy in the country.”
