London: The United Kashmir People's National Party (UKPNP) has unequivocally rejected Pakistani government's move to give Gilgit-Baltistan a province like status and branded it the colonisation and further occupation of one of the integral parts of the former princely state of Jammu and Kashmir.
Calling it a stab in the back of Kashmiri people by the Pakistani authorities, the leader of UKPNP Sardar Shaukat Ali Kashmiri asked the Kashmiris of all stripes and their friends and sympathizers all over the world to raise their voice against the subjugation of Gilgit-Baltistan in the name of so-called package announced by the Pakistani regime on 29th of August 2009. Sardar Shaukat Ali Kashmiri was delivering a telephonic address from Geneva, where he is busy these days arranging a series of meetings to oppose the Pakistani move and to raise awareness on the issue, to the UKPNP demonstrators who gathered here outside the High Commission of Pakistan to protest against the clear violation of the United Nations resolutions which state that Gilgit-Baltistan is an integral part of the united state of Kashmir and its constitutional and political future status is yet to be resolved.
UKPNP’s UK based leaders Jamil Latif, Mujatba Ali Shah, Usman Kayani, Sardar Asad Khan, Akhtar Kashmiri, and Sardar Afzal Tahir led the demonstration. Shaukat Ali Kashmiri said the move by Pakistan had fully exposed the fact that Pakistan was only interested in grabbing the land of Kashmir and only interested to plunder its natural resources and it’s propaganda of being a friend and well-wisher of Kashmiri people was a drama all-along. The governor and the assembly, Kashmiri said, will be a rubber stamp body and it will have no legitimate authority in the eyes of Kashmiri people and it will only serve the interests of Kashmir’s occupiers in Islamabad.
