 Gilgit Baltistan: People want to see action, not words

SKARDU:

Chairman Gilgit-Baltistan United Movement (GBUM) Manzoor Hussain Parwana has said that until the federal government took practical steps to eliminate corruption and bring all the corrupt elements to justice, the PML-N leaders' claims about the issue will remain an eyewash. He said that the visit of the federal minister for Gilgit-Baltistan affairs Birjees Tahir to the region and his claims and promises seemed to the start of a war of power between his party and the PPP government of the region.

Parwana said that the decision of the minister and the chief secretary to launch probes into corruption allegations was a welcome step but the people of the region wanted action not words, he said in a statement. The GBUM leader also said that the PPP government consisted of a group of corrupt people and seemed that the new PML-N government had decided to protect the group, creating further sense of deprivation among the people of the region. Besides, this lacklustre attitude of the rulers is leading to further increase in corruption. He welcomes the decision of the federal government to take action against illegal appointments during the last about four years but said that process should be transparent and across the board.

He said the new chief secretary should start his proceeding from where his predecessor Younus Hotiana had left it. Mr Parwana also demanded that the 3,000 illegal appointments made in the education department should be declared null and void and new hiring should be made in a transparent manner keeping in view merit. He regretted that the region was being made a beggar area due to the incompetency of the rulers.

 He said that the working of the government had come to a complete halt and the government was even not able to pay salaries to the employees and the outstanding bills of the contractors.

PPP & PML-N have same agenda: Gilgit Baltistan United Movement

 The Gilgit-Baltistan United Movement (GBUM), a political and nationalist party of the region, is preparing to take part in the forthcoming general elections and will be utilizing the services of all political organizations to achieve the political rights of the people of the region.

This was stated by GBUM chairman Manzoor Hussain Parwana, general secretary Ghulam Shehzad Agha, Ismail Zia and Mohammad Hassan. They said that the current system introduced in the region under the so-called autonomy order of 2009 was illegal and the so-called provincial status given to the area fake. By introducing the fake system in the region, Pakistan has tried to hoodwink not only the people of the region but also the international community. This so-called system has given nothing to the people of the region except promoting the menace of corruption, favoritism and terrorism in the area.

The GBUM leaders said that the PML-N was also set to continue the same system of governance in the region and it showed that the agenda of the PML-N and the PPP was the same, adding the corrupt system in the area was an insult with the indigenous people of the region.
The GBUM leaders regretted that political opportunism was being promoted in the region and the so-called political leaders were ever ready to jump the bandwagon whenever there was a change in the government in Islamabad in order to get the post of governor, ministers and advisers etc.
This politics of vested interests continuing in the region has caused irreparable damage to the region for the last over six decades.
