Glaring security failures are beginning to show in G-B. PHOTO: HRCP
A statement issued by the Commission said, “The killings of the foreign tourists brings to mind a similar incident last year when Shias were murdered by killers who came as quickly as they disappeared."
"The incident speaks volumes about the ineptness of the security in the region and the inefficiency of the intelligence apparatus," the statement continued.
Gilgit-Baltistan, which had hitherto been considered a safe place for tourism now poses a serious risk to the industry because of the recent killings in the region.
"Actions against the elements who have claimed responsibility for the killings does not demonstrate much commitment," the statement said.
The statement said that while condemnation of such an attack is vital, concrete steps need to be taken.
"Not clamping down on militancy, a failure to challenge the increasing intolerance in society and responding with mere rhetoric to incidents of bloodshed is nothing short of colluding with the enemies of Pakistan," the statement concluded.

You must be talking about PMLN, LeJ's greatest ally?
Agreed with every word!!!! But these people won't do anything as they have colluding with the enemies like you put it.
How come the ideological guardians have allowed the HRCP so much freedom? Haven't seen one of their breed questioning the ideological moorings of the HRCP yet out here?
@ Rex Minor If what you say is correct "The country of Pakistan is for the people of Pakistan and not to entertain foreigners." then it is equally okay for the 10 million Pakistanis like me who infest other countries like gulf states, the UK and US to be met a similar treatment.....? I would like to understand your views on the subject....seem quite bigoted if you ask me personally!
@Rex Minor: What if innocent Pakistani Citizens in any other country, particularly your relatives, would you like if the people of that country said the same thing as you are saying now?
The country of Pakistan is for the people of Pakistan and not to entertain foregners.
How does one discriminate between good and bad foreigners, one may ask the quesion. This has not yet been apparently determined by the Government. Are those who are on foot are good and those one can not see but are present everywhere and make use of their flying machines and throw bombs on innocent people, ths has not yet been addressed by the curent Govrnment. Peerhaps the HRCP could look into this and avise.

The advice of HRCP has force . Is'nt it .?
It is apparent this is all done by India, Israel and US. It is our right to breed terrorists to save our most noble, peaceful country. It does not matter even if our politicians buy away all our land, make major scams in the mining industry that might totally destroy our already disease-ridden economy and let the home-grown terrorists kill the normal public in the name of Islam. Why should we care? It is all India's fault! We have been blaming India for 67 years, why should we stop now? It is all a big conspiracy by India and US and the zionist Israel against Pakistan.
That's the conclusion that your neighbors, NATO, and the USA reached many years ago.
Untill you put all your efforts to eliminate the Sipahe Sahaba, TTP and their supporters, it will continue to flourish.
