Pakistan's oppressive policies in Gilgit Baltistan – a cause of concern

London, April 11: The people of Gilgit Baltistan are victims of Pakistan’s 'oppression and disregard'. It is an irony that even with an abundance of natural resources, the people in Gilgit Baltistan lives in poverty and have no access to education, proper healthcare and sanitation. Those who are educated remain jobless. The gross violation of human rights and discriminatory policies of Pakistan in Gilgit Baltistan are a cause of great concern. A London based think-tank - `Democracy Forum’ recently organized a seminar at the House of Commons to raise issues concerning Gilgit Baltistan.
