Citizens are criticising the Government stating that the leaders were failing to solve the people’s problems. The President Sultan Mahamud Chowdhari of Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) is on a tour of Britain, Turkiye and Belgium without giving any intimation to the people about it and that also has triggered the fury of people.
The Government of Gilgit-Baltistan has grabbed lands belonging to people. Hence peoples’ sentiments are hurt and they are opposing the Government. In 2022, youth there had agitated against the army; hence, the army captured those youth to suppress their revolt. Despite economic crisis in Gilgit-Baltistan the Government has not provided any funds so far.
Gilgit-Baltistan has to depend upon the funds provided by the Centre; that also has not been given to them for some period in the past adding to their suffering.
