Gilgit Baltistan: Leader welcomed to Challenge the Empowerment Package 2009 in Supreme Court.

Skardu: 6 March 2010

Manzoor Hussain Parwana Chairman Gilgit Baltistan United Movement (GBUM) has welcomed the petition of Shafqat Ali Inqalabi in Pakistan Supreme Court in which he has challenged the Empowerment and self Governance Ordinance 2009 for Gilgit Baltistan.

Manzoor Parwna said the petitioner has taken a brave step by challenging this Ordinance which aims to change the legal and constitutional position of the territory.

He said Gilgit Baltistan is not constitutional part of Pakistan and Pakistan has no right to legislate or formulate any constitutional Package to the people of the region. The establishment of de facto province of Gilgit Baltistan under the puppet Chief Minister is a shameful act of the government to strengthen the colonial control over the disputed area.

Parwana said we will provide moral political and technical support to Shafqat Inqalabi in his endeavors to seek justice for people of Gilgit Baltistan.
