As the monsoon rains have brought widespread havoc in all parts of the country, the Independence Day of Pakistan on Aug 14 went without any funfair. Anyway, Gilgit-Baltistan is still long way away from the blessing of freedom as the United Nations is not taking any interest in fulfilling its pledge of holding a plebiscite to decide the future of the region in accordance with wishes of its

Even the idea, let alone passage, of the so-called 'condemnation resolution' bulldozed by Gilgit-Baltistan Legislative Assembly (GBLA) in its seventh sitting was farce and beyond the jurisdiction of the house. No country or even a part of it notwithstanding its size and standing in the world can think of passing a resolution challenging its own survival and legitimacy. The resolution moved

Imprisoned to their own vested interests and under the intense pressure of America, India and Pakistan again staged the drama of parleys in Islamabad but the poor show by the actors this time miserably failed to impress the audience, both national and international. However, India succeeded in tactfully making some parts of the drama a showpiece of interest for its people.India had sent its foreig

Thank God Baang-e-Sahar as a weekly has completed its three years of continuous publication. The journey which it started as a monthly about 10 years back from the cosmopolitan city of Karachi is continuing irrespective of pressure, fear, intimidation and oppressive measures by the power that be. The vision and determination that the young student belonging to Yasen tehsil of Gilgit-Baltistan had

The Muslim Conference (MC) government of Azad Jammu and Kashmir has once again started issuing statements after statements about Gilgit-Baltistan in order to give a fillip to its typical and self interest based political maneuverings. Going one step ahead, the prime minister of AJK Raja Farooq Hyder recently announced to hold a conference against the fledgling system of Gilgit-Baltistan. He said t
