JKLF in London CONDEMNED the Banishment of its leadership from Gilgit-Baltistan

Translated from Urdu to English by Shabana Bashir

JKLF London has condemned the exile of JKLF chairman Sardar Saghir Advocate, another political leader Sardar Raja Mazhar Iqbal and many others who were made exile from Gilgit on 28th Arpril. JKLF said that the exile of these leaders is part of Indo-Pak propaganda to divide kashmir into further parts. In a press release London, JKLF that historically, constitutionally and lawfully, the agreement of Karachi is clear evidence that Gilgit, Baltistan is a part of Jammu & Kashmir and if this was not the case, the Government of Pakistan did not need to make agreement with the free government of the region. It was further said in the press release, that if Pakistan wanted to give full right to Gilgit, Baltistan people, the simple resolution was to make Gilgit baltistan, a part of Azad Jammu and Kashmir where a combined Government could have been made which would have given more importance to the dispute of kashmir. On the other hand, it is also said that its clear now that Pakistan has same intrest in Kashmir as India and the both countries are equally responsible for the divide of Kashmir and that further attempts are being made to sub-divide Kashmir. J & K and Gilgit Baltistan, never accepted Karachi agreement and will never accept it in future too, said JKLF.


In a statement from London, JKLF said that the concept of Independent Kashmir is strengthening its roots amongst the people and youth of Gilgit Bltistan which has caused frustration amongst the conspirers. Recent successfull seminar organized by JKLF cleared the misunderstandings between Jammu & Kashmir people and Gilgit Baltistan people but it is not acceptable by the conspirers, therefore the exile of JKLF leadrs is a clear evidence that the conspiracy to further divide Jammu and Kashmir is on rise and the democratic govenrment of Gilgit Baltistan is just for name but has no democratic role in reality.

JKLF senior leaders strongly condemned Pakistan’s action to make Gilgit Baltistan a part of Pakistan and said that any part of Kashmir State (Ladakh, Gilgit, Baltistan, Jammu, Kashmir) is neither Jagular vein nor Integral part on any occupying country. Kashmir belongs to Kashmiris and any attempt by either country will be resisted by Kashmiri people.
