Pakistan is preparing to celebrate the day of occupation on GB there have been massive protests erupted in that area against the atrocities committed by the Federal government along with the Pakistani army’s support. The people and the protesters gathered there are demanding aggressively to release the political leaders and human rights activists.

Loud and powerful slogans like : “Ye jo dehshatgardi hain, uske peechhe vardi hain”

This freedom suffers more because of absolute statelessness and the army has given a superb free hand to rule the whole region. The commoners specially the locals have been hitting the streets to protest against the Human Rights breaches carried out by the Pakistani army and the other authorities. Moreover it has been said that the administration of this area has been devastating and disasters for Pakistan since its occupation.

Pakistan has been switching to illegal and unethical means to occupy G-B since its initial attempts. Remembering The Raider’s attack on Jammu And Kashmir on 22nd October 1947 involving 20,000 tribesmen who were armed and equipped by Pakistan arms and ammunition , progressing towards Srinagar to cut it and occupy it from the rest of the India Pakistan began to launch an operation to attack GB.

As the Indian Army was engaged to vacate the Kashmir valley from the raiders, Pakistan sensed an opportunity and the Pakistani government pocketed Major William Brown, who was the commander of the Gilgit Scouts under Maharaja Hari Singh. He led a coup on 1 November 1947, to capture Governor Ghansara Singh. It’s said that : All happened under the command of Khan Abdul Qayyum Khan, a defected leader of the Congress Party, who later defected to the Muslim League. He helped establish a temporary government with Raja Shah Rais Khan as the president and Mirza Hassan Khan as the Commander-in-chief. Political agent appointed by Pakistan, Khan Mohammad Alam Khan, arrived on 16 November with the Pakistani Army and took over the administration of Gilgit. Gilgit Scouts along with tribal raiders advanced towards Baltistan and Ladakh and captured Skardu by May 1948. The Indian Army vacated regions of Ladakh during Autumn 1948.According to the International Crisis Group (ICG), the Karachi Agreement, which formed the basis of Pakistan’s administration through conspiracy , over G-B, is highly unpopular in the area because G-B was not a party to it even when its fate was decided.
