India Protest Pakistan Court Order

India protest against Pakistan Apex court order on Gilgit Baltistan 

Pakistan Supreme Court, Islamabad

 On Monday, India lodged a Strong protest against Pakistan SC's Court order allowing to be held election in Gilgit Baltistan,  by declare that Pakistani institutions have “no locus standi on territories illegally and forcibly occupied by it”.

On 30th April, the Pakistan Supreme Court allowed the federal government to amend the Government of Gilgit-Baltistan Order 2018 to conduct the general elections as well as setting up a caretaker government during the interregnum period. In short order allowed the government to hold general elections in September in Gilgit-Baltistan and setting up a caretaker government during the interim period.

India Protested every time on PAK took decision in POK. Statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs, India lodged a “strong protest” through the demarche, that “clearly conveyed that the entire Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, including the areas of Gilgit and Baltistan, are an integral part of India by virtue of its fully legal and irrevocable accession”.

  

“India completely rejects such actions and continued attempts to bring material changes in Pakistan occupied areas of the Indian territory of Jammu & Kashmir”.

“Government of India’s position in the matter is reflected in the resolution passed by the Parliament in 1994 by consensus," it added.

According to the Pakistan constitution, POK (Azad Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan) are not a parts of PAK. Pakistan considers Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Gilgit Baltistan as autonomous region, it has made special effects  to make sure Gilgit Baltistan in control of PAK. Currently Gilgit Baltistan is neither a province nor a state. It has a special provincial status.

Why PAK crumble autonomy of Gilgit Baltistan?

Because of China and CPEC(China Pakistan Economic Corridor) factor. The CPEC project is passed through the Gilgit-Baltistan region and China have a fear of invest on disputed region. So by eroding autonomy Pakistan give reassurance  and made comfortable  China by changing demography for investment in Gilgit-Baltistan region. 

During Coronavirus pandemic, Pakistani Army is trying to take advantage of the crisis and push militants into Jammu and Kashmir. Recently, on the Handwara  encounter, Gen. Naravane said India is proud of the five security personnel who laid down their lives saving civilians from terrorists at a village in the North Kashmir locality.
