JK NAP rejects Pakistani Governance order 2009 for Gilgit Baltistan.

Jammu Kashmir National Awami Party ( JK NAP) out rightly rejects this so called Governance order 2009 for Gilgit Baltistan. It is nothing but a little joke to the people of this region of state of jammu Kashmir, after 63 years of deprivation of basic human rights Pakistani state has decided to changed the name of local administration and creation of authority of chief minister and Governor indicates that this region would be a province of the country. It is totally unconstitutional decision, Pakistani state has absolutely no authority over the region to decide the fate of the 2 million people of this disputed region of Jammu Kashmir. It is violation of UN resolution which has only mandated temporary administrative authority over this region as long as Kashmir dispute is is not resolved between India and Pakistan. It is an attempt to strengthen Pakistani occupation over this region and it is not acceptable to any one in the region nor any patriotic Kashmir can accept it. This expansionist policy of Pakistani state must be resisted and her deceiving and deception policy has to be exposed. This region has not been part of Pakistani state nor people of this region have ever decided to join Pakistan, how can it be possible for Pakistani state to make decision of this region which does not belong to its territory at all. Pakistani cabinet has granted this region all those administrative positions which belong to a province but it does not make any sense to any one that when this territory is Pakistani territory how Pakistani state can impose this type decisions over the region. It is not in the jurisdiction of Pakistani constitution and Pakistani rulers are behaving like colonial power in the region and imposing her own version of state institutions against the popular will of the people of this unfortunate region of Kashmir. It condemnable and shameful act of an occupier and JK NAP has started protest against this illegal, unlawful, unconstitutional decision yesterday in Rawalakot , Bagh and Muzafrabad. JK NAP also announced a call for protest on this coming Tuesday all over POK cities and towns.

JK NAP president Liaqat Hayyat, General secretary Abdul Sattar Khan, VP Mubarak Awan, said that we do not accept this decision because it is an imposition against the will of people, only people of this region have an authority to decide the fate of this region. JK NAP leaders said that our proposal was that regional assembly should have been created long time ago but after waiting 6 long decades people of this region have not got any thing yet, it is befooling our people in the name of new administration, we will oppose it with tooth and nail. Our demand is that this region must be given POK type of set up with full authority or given representation in POK assembly after dissolving Kashmir Council, establishing Kashmir senate instead of this so called Council, eliminating ministry of Kashmir affairs type colonial institutions which having stronger grip over the region. JK NAP still suggests that Kashmir senate must be created which can have equal representation of Gilgit Baltistan and Azad Kashmir areas and national assembly members can be elected through direct election from both region of Kashmir but Pakistani state rulers have no intentions to give any right to the both regions under its occupation. Meanwhile, International Council JK NAP Coordinator Javed Inayat, Spokesman Nadeem Aslam, Sajjad Raja, Shahid Hashmi, Azad Raja, Ikram Mir, Hassan Mehmood, Shahid Azam, Shahid Azam junior, Nyyar Khan, Sabir Malik, Zahid Baluch, Saleem Awan, Dr. Jameel have also rejected this decision out rightly and considers it a new tactics of consolidating its occupation. IC JK NAP leaders said that Pakistani state has lost her moral position and it can not be trusted any more, as rulers of the country do not miss any opportunity to deceive people of Kashmir. JK NAP will continue its struggle and resists occupation over Kashmir.
