Disputed territory: Lawyers oppose G-B’s accession to Pakistan

The MBDA cannot rubbish GB’s freedom war which was fought by our ancestors for one year. We have won our freedom in the battle ground and no history nor any international bogus organizations, stooges of super powers, can challenge the results of that war. Accession or no accession to Pakistan, GB has its own cultural, historical and social uniqueness which is self evident and not subject to debate.

These sentiments expressed by Kashmiri bodies from time to time are counter-productive. They tend to act like post-colonial colonizers, claiming our land and our people, trying to distort our history. The Kashmiris should know that the states of Gilgit – Baltistan, which today compose the administrative unit, have individual histories and identities which go beyond the Dogra occupation of our motherland.

If not for the support and treachery of the Kashmiris, the Dogra rulers may never have been able to occupy our land.

Today the youth of GB will use all possible measures to stop the usurpation of our right to identity.

And these are the people for whom you fought numerous wars with India?

The oldest and the best solution to resolve the disputes is asking the will of people therefore, the world must ask the residents of Gilgit Baltistan for their will. it is true that Gilgit Baltistan was once part of Kashmir but one must also acknowledge that the brave people of Gilgit Baltistan got independence without any external help while the majority of Kashmiris are still slaves. I am a resident of Gilgit Baltistan and I would like to be part of Pakistan as an independent province. Respect the will of majority, it is true Islam and it is true democracy.

Gilgit-Baltistan people always respect and support Kashmir issue , but such theories rise again and again then we GB people will start protest against Kashmir that AJK is a part of India, this is true and base on fact. Yes we were also but we got freedom after gun battle. If you people are too much strong and pwerful then you can get freedom so far but you Kashmiris mostly like India so stay there and you dont have any right to say some thing about GB. You people dislike Pakistan but GB people loves Pakistan.

@ Saud: I guess you are a fake Indian commenter. You should be well-aware of the fact that it is India that has widely committed atrocities against innocent Kashmiris in Occupied Kashmir not Pakistan. Occupied Kashmir is the world’s most militarized zone with 0.7 million troops (1 soldier for every 4 people). Indian Army has got the right to kill a Kashmiri one the mere basis of suspicion (Armed Forces Special Powers Act) and he is not accountable to anyone. People in IHK are not allowed to protest, move freely and even offer Eid prayers.
How can you say that Pakistan is usurping Kashmiri’s rights whereas Pakistan is always ready to conduct a free and fair plebiscite in Kashmir so that people could choose their own fate. Pakistan even supports ‘Azaadi’

Umer…..Please read History….G-B never been part of Kashmir….Their tradition, future, practices and topography differs for centuries…..Until 1891 – 1947 when British made an ad hoc administrative adjustment of reporting procedure….

British agree to keep princely states autonomous, in return a garauntee to keep other powers out of influence….

Since Pakistan created in 1947…later ancestor of G-B fought a liberation war and liberated in November 1947 later than Pakistan’s actual independence day….

The people of Kashmir by majority Muslim Cowed to India…..thorough only one non-Muslim Ruler…..

In reality…Both sides of Kashmiris are enjoying political Power in Pakistan as AJK and in India power in Center….while people of G-B are suffering for nothing…….

Don’t stay in fool’s paradise, the day UN plebiscite occur, the people of G-B may vent out their frustration for keeping them unconstitutional and dispute for nothing…….People of G-B have right to decide their choice to annex with Pakistan without being party to Kashmir….

Can YOU Answer Me?
If G-B is part of Kashmir Dispute, Have ever any representation is given in dialogue process as third party? Come to reality…..Who Cares if Kashmiris are shouting over G-B…they know, G-Bians will kick any one out…..there is nothing common…They just need attention…

Kashmiris enjoy asylums all over the world on fake dispute issue, ever any G-Bian did so?

there are hundreds of questions….better Pakistan should give some legal rights, instead pushing Kashmiri pundits to spout slogans….

How many more years GBians should suffer in the name of Kashmir. Our Youth has been used in name of so called kashmiri jihad till recent years. GBians still have not basic human rights i-e freedom of press, right to vote and representation in national assembly and senate. The so called province is governed like an organization from ministry of Kashmir and Northern Affairs.

really absurd concerns of Lawerys, and historically GB is never been a part of Kashmir.

Recommend

What a Surprise! Does the Government of AJK give a singe penny to GB out of its revenue or Budget? Then why should it be so possessive? I support the will of the people in deciding their own fate and political future but seriously question the right of people to demand rights over GB when they have not paid a single penny to GB since 1947. Would these Lawyers ever consider paying the share of budget to GB since 1947 ( 65 Years x billions of Rupees) Has even a single prime Minister of AJK ever contributed to any welfare project in GB ? We have enough Lawyers in GB , the Lawyers of Mirpur better mind their own business.

GB has never been part of Kashmir as stated above except at the times the British enrouted the reporting line while keeping the autounomus status of princely states . Again the fact is know and should be know to all that the people of GB have won their independence by their own without any help from outside . Those sitting in kashmir should not forget the brave tribal phatans who have fought to liberate the so called azad kashmir .

and to those who think that GB is still part of kashmir either you live in a fool paradise or you are trying to mess up something .

Our ancestors have acceded to pakistan unconditionally and let me tell so being ignored and subjected to bueratical rule for past 64 years still we love pakistan . We are part of pakistan and we will remain part of pakistan .

@Kaiser Hameed Khan:

“Does the Government of AJK give a singe penny to GB out of its revenue or Budget?”

The reason for this is that Pakistan deliberately split its portion of occupied Kashmir into Azad Kashmir and Northern Areas/GB. The idea was to project the dispute with India as one with regard to Azad Kashmir and Indian Kashmir. In the process, the hope was that NA/GB would be slowly merged into Pakistan by changing demographics there.

If Pakistan had not split out Azad Kashmir, NA/GB would have been together with all Pakistani Kashmir. So the fault lies not with the AJK legislators, but with the state of Pakistan.
