Gilgit-Baltistan is a part of Jammu and Kashmir, but Pakistan illegally occupied it after Partition in 1947.

Islamabad later divided the region into two parts - Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.
NEW DELHI:
India on Thursday voiced strong opposition to Pakistan's reported move to declare Gilgit (Pakistan) as that country's fifth province.
"We have said that the entire state of Jammu and Kashmir has been and will remain a part of India," External Affairs Ministry Raveesh Kumar said in response to a question at a media briefing.
"Any attempt by Pakistan to change the legal status has no basis whatsoever," Mr Kumar said.
"We call upon Pakistan to vacate all occupied territories."
