ILLEGITIMATE REFORM PACKAGE FOR GILGIT BALTISTAN PORTION OF BOLOR 4 SEPTEMBER 2009 Will you pick up the courage to publish it? (NOT PUBLISHED) The under-mentioned is a point wise reply to the queries raised is page 6 OPINION, DAWN Islamabad, 4 September – Letters to the Editor. a. Packages and orders are issued on temporary basis for an employed body of men by a lawful authority e.g. Ramadan package for an army unit or a bonus package for labours of a factory. From the documented facts - the World, UN, UNCIP including USA, Govts of Pakistan and India have accorded disputed Gilgit Baltistan region of the former State of three provinces, a local authority govt at Gilgit; North of the Ceasefire line, responsible for its own defence, administrative affairs and it will be just short of international recognition, till the final resolution of the dispute. Muzaffarabad has a more or less a similar local authority govt, West of the Ceasefire line. Gilgit should also enjoy State subject rules, various human and political rights under UN umbrella and other perks and privileges of being disputed. We were lied upon and deceived at this critical juncture and are being continuously lied upon by all the Govts of Pakistan without fail. The govt of Pakistan wrote to UN that the asked non local liaison officer is the local authority. This package is a hoax and a bluff to strengthen the colonial grip over Gilgit Baltistan portion of Bolor i.e. Northern Area province of the former State. The govt of Pakistan must apologize and mend its ways for the basic lies it presented to the UN and the World i.e. a non-local as a local authority, many local authorities instead of one local authority govt at Gilgit of 1st November 1947, and the political terminology of “Gilgit agency and the Northern areas of Kashmir”, as portrayed on the survey of Pakistan maps. To cover up this basic blunder and lies, all the govts of Pakistan have been adding insults to the initial injury. b. Gilgit Baltistan alongwith Laddakh was the Northern Area province of the former State of three provinces i.e. Kashmir province and Jammu province beside NA province. It is not the Northern Areas of Pakistan. On 1st November 1947, Dogra cum English rule in Gilgit was overthrown through a revolution and a Govt at Gilgit was formed for the liberated areas of the former State. Most likely; the flag of the liberated State prepared at Srinagar by the revolutionary council of the State army, was raised at Gilgit on that day and then our people went on for a liberation spree of the former State. They on their own liberated 65% area of the former State. They were cheated upon and the first asked liaison officer of Pakistan connived mischievously with the English Major Brown and the Govt of Pakistan bluffed the World and the UN that this single person is the local authority govt. How a non local can be a local authority govt. c. Nobody in the World has been able up-till now to bring even a small shred of proof that Gilgit Baltistan acceded with Pakistan. That is why, the Govt of Pakistan is shying away from the reference to political context. d. Mr Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, engineered the first sectarian onslaught onto Gilgit in 1974. He arrested Hassan Khan and denied religious rights to our people for atleast three consecutive years and had sown the seeds of sectarian divide and rule. He implemented the contents of infamous Gen Yahya’s tenure prepared “Secretaries Report”, on Gilgit Baltistan portion of Bolor. Bolor is the ancient name of the country consisting of Gilgit Baltistan, Laddakh, Taghdumbash Pamir, Gurez, Kohistan, Chitral. This country became the third Northern Area province of the Jammu and Kashmir State. The Northern Area province should have been named Bolor. It is heartening to note that the Chitralis have started protesting to become part and parcel of Gilgit Baltistan portion of Bolor. Anyhow, Chitral was part and parcel of Gilgit and was temporarily separated after the siege of Chitral. It remained under the suzerainty of Maharaja Kashmir and the Mehtar of Chitral only denounced Maharaja’s suzerainty after the formation of 1st November 1947, govt in Gilgit. The Chitral bodyguards and scouts forthrightly came for our help in our indigenous war of liberation 1947-48. e. This package and the alternate offered by so called AJK assembly is a result of playing with the generally known Kashmir dispute by the intellectuals and leaders of Gilgit Baltistan and their comrades of Jammu and Kashmir. We are not satisfied at all and our struggle will continue. The Kashmiri nationalist leadership should realize that there is a deliberate conspiracy to create hatred and distrust between people of Gilgit Baltistan and Jammu Kashmir. 5th September 2009 f. After the Gilgit uprising of Jan-feb 1971, in which Mr Amanullah Khan of JKLF played a leading role; General Yahya Khan’s govt constituted a Secretaries Committee to analyse and submit recommendations for implementation. This committee finally recommended in December 1971, that it is desired by the establishment of Pakistan that Gilgit Baltistan be made part and parcel of NWFP (Pathanistan) but for the time being it cannot be done so; as it is linked with the Kashmir dispute. It further stated that no independent political setup can be accorded to Gilgit Baltistan in wake of the year’s initial uprising, it cannot be made part and parcel of the govt of AJK; as AJK Govt’s authority will undesirably spread upto the Chinese border. Thus an indefinite status quo be maintained and all possible efforts be made to integrate this area into NWFP. Martial law administrator, President and Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto of PPP started implementing this 1971, chalked out deviation course, under the guise of the 5th province of Pakistan. The 1971, report is the mother of all evils of Gilgit Baltistan. g. This disorderly order of 29th August 2009, can be conveniently described and defined as an illegitimate child, whose father is GHQ and the mother is Pakistan Peoples party. This pack of lies and bluffs cannot be even described as “Äadha Teetar adha batair ” or “Bhagtay chor ki langoti he sahee”. h. JKLF’s proposal of reunification of Gilgit Baltistan and AK as a democratic and a soverign State is worth pondering at. APNA-BJK is requested to debate it for chalking on a suitable course of action. i. The 12th Nov 2009, elections in Gilgit Baltistan are at a critical point of time in the history of Gilgit Baltistan. Minister cum Chairman cum Governor Kaira alongwith elements of GHQ are likely to play havoc. The World and all interesting quarters must minutely watch the situation from now onwards in Gilgit Baltistan. j. The govt of Pakistan wants to politically divide the people of Gilgit Baltistan on sectarian lines for and against this pack of lies. They also want to enhance mutual distrust between the people of Gilgit and Baltistan in the measure of already setup separate commissionaires, as stated by Mr Kaira to the Kashmiri leaders in Ministry of Kashmir and Northern Area briefing.
