GB not to be made province at any cost, says Sardar Attique

Former AJK Prime Minister and President Muslim Conference Azad Kashmir Sardar Attique Ahmad khan said that Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) will not be allowed to be made province at any cost.
While addressing a reception hosted by Central leader of Muslim Conference Syed Zahoor Hamdani today, Sardar said “We will not allow GB to be made a province at any cost. PM Nawaz Sharif should not take such steps which hurts the feelings of Kashmiris. GB is part of Jammu and Kashmir. Powers be delegated to it rather than making it a province”.
He went on to say Kashmir cause will be affected badly if GB becomes a separate province.
Government of Azad Kashmir should adopt a solid approach and then we will support it, he declared.
Non resolution of Kashmir issue has put at stake the peace of the entire world particularly South Asia, he remarked. The international community should play its vigorous role to address Kashmir dispute, he urged.
PML-N has completely failed in Azad Kashmir as PMLN workers despite having their own government are considering them worse than opposition, he added.

I feared this would happen

Is it really part of kashmir?

 

[Trango Towers]

I have been there and they don't care much for what kashmiris say. It will become a province and there is nothing that this man can do about it

Someone will always oppose over one thing or another. FATA merger was opposed by few when even 98% of parties were on board including all of FATA parliamentarians.

Nawaz Sharif is supposed to announce G-B reform package 5th April.

"Reliable sources told Pakistan Today that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is likely to visit Gilgit on April 5 to address the joint session of the Gilgit-Baltistan Legislative Assembly (GBLA) and the Gilgit-Baltistan Council, where he would make an announcement about the region’s empowerment. Earlier, his visit to the area was postponed last month."

IF GB becomes a province of Pakistan then India will be more than happy.

It will divide Kashmir and will dilute whatsoever international support Pakistan has on this issue.

Bye Bye UN resolutions on Kashmir plebiscite

This clown needs to shut up and think in the larger national interest, say I a Azad Kashmiri but more importantly a Pakistani patriot.Kudos

 

[Zhukov]

So what is the status of GB?
Its not part of Azad Kashmir Govnt of Muzaffarabad. Its not a province.
Doesnt making it a province will give it more indipendence amd autonomy?

BDW sardar attique is from PPP if i am not wrong

Its the muslim majority of indian occupied Kashmir that gives legitimacy, they simply want partition completed

GB is a 100% area of a muslim majority state

 

[Talwar e Pakistan]

Gilgit Baltistan declared independance from the Dogra regime before they ceded to Pakistan and hence do not consider themselves to be a part of Jammu and Kashmir.

This clown needs to shut up and think in the larger national interest, say I a Azad kashmiri.Kudos

So you are a Kashmiri? But don't you think the territorial integrity of former state of J&K should be respected? You would empathize if you imagine and compare carving GB province out of J&K to Baluchistan seceding from Pakistan. Why else would heavyweight Kashmiri leaders on Indian side of LOC like Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Yasin Malik and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq oppose this move? They are really opposed to it, right or is the Indian media lying?

Edit-Add: I didn't read @Talwar e Pakistan 's comment above before posting. But the Kashmiri leaders in Srinagar nevertheless regard it very much as part of their state.

People of GB don't consider themselves to be part of Jammu and Kashmir, so the will of the people will be respected. GB was always part of Pakistan.
