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

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 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
