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.
