Who
Are We (An Opinion): By Ajaz Ahmad
The People of Gilgit Baltistan are crying
to annex with Pakistan or with Kashmir and there is group of People who wanted
to annex with the Chinese Government and Indian Government. A Leader Nawaz Khan
Naji the Member of Gilgit Baltistan Legislative Assembly introduced a new
Ideology for the People of GB that from Kohistan to Gojal and from Gojal to
Chitral have a distinct and separate identity/entity. He further elaborated
that we the people of GB formerly known as Northern Areas of Pakistan have our
own Languages (Shina, Balti, Burushaski, Khuwar and Wakhi), Culture, Race
Geography, own History. We got Independence on 1st November 1947
from Dogra Raj and rule the state for next 15 days but we never annex with
Pakistan. The signatories who signed the agreement with annexation with
Pakistan were from Kashmir no single one from GB. First we should be accepted
as a separate entity and give us our due rights then we will decide or to go
with Pakistan, Kashmir, Independent state or Plebiscite.
We need a common name which represents the
10 districts of Gilgit Baltistan which almost covers 280, 00 miles; According
to order of 2009 Northern Areas of Pakistan name has been changed to Gilgit
Baltistan which is a disputed name which represent the two districts of GB
other districts have been ignored. GB has 3 highest mountain ranges which are
Himalayan Range, Karakoram Range and Hindukash Ranges in between the roof of
the Tibet and Pamir. The area was once part of Jammu and Kashmir after
Partition of subcontinent and war with India it was occupied by Pakistan but it
is never described as Azad Kashmir but as the Northern Areas of Islamabad which
rule it by proxy in 1850. There were three major Powers in the region Dogras, Sikhs,
and British. They attacked first in Ladakh, then Baltistan and then Gilgit and
at last Chitral and occupied the Place from 1850 to 1947.
We got independence by ourselves without
any help from external factors. A group of Kashimiri People has decided our
future to Pakistan who tried to demolish our rights by every means. We are not
in constitution of Pakistan, we cannot cast a vote or stand for Parliament post
in Pakistan, we cannot appeal to the supreme court of Pakistan, and we are just
as foreigners. Actually it is completely mentioned in article 8 of the
Agreement signed between Islamabad and the Government of Kashmir between
Mushtaq Ahmad Ghormani, Minister without Portfolio and Government of Pakistan
Sardar Muhammad Ibrahim President of Azad Kashmir and Choudhary Ghulam Abbas
Head of Muslim Conference that the People of Gilgit Baltistan they to whom they
have acceded. These Kashmiri Group and Agents of Pakistan has decided the
future of People of Gilgit Baltistan and Put them in never ending slavery of
state which never considered this disputed territory its Part.
