Protests in Gilgit-Baltistan

The recent protests in Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) against government land grabbing demonstrate the growing awareness among the region’s residents of the issues faced by nationalist elements, particularly the Balawaristan National Front (BNF).

Historically, nationalist parties in GB have faced skepticism and mistrust from the general populace, with some accusing them of being RAW or CIA agents. However, the ongoing protests and the growing public support for them suggest that the concerns of these parties and their followers are finally being recognized as legitimate by the people of GB.

The issue of land grabbing has long been a source of tension in GB, as the region’s residents have seen their land and resources seized and controlled by powerful interests, leaving them without the means to sustain themselves. The government’s failure to address this issue has led to widespread frustration among the people of GB, who feel that they are being denied their basic rights as citizens.

The BNF, as well as other nationalist parties, have been at the forefront of the movement to resist government land grabs and to fight for the rights of the people of GB. They have organized protests, rallies, and other forms of public action to raise awareness about the issue and to demand that the government take action to address it.

The recent protests, and the public’s growing support for them, show that the efforts of these nationalist parties are beginning to bear fruit. It is clear that the people of GB are no longer willing to tolerate the government’s neglect of their rights and are standing up to demand that their voices be heard.

It is crucial that the government takes the demands of the protesters seriously and takes immediate action to address the issue of land grabbing and protect the rights of the people of GB. The right of people to control their land and resources is a fundamental right, and it should not be taken away by the powerful people and government.

In conclusion, the protests in GB against government land grabbing are a powerful reminder that the struggle for justice and equality is ongoing, and that the people of GB will continue to fight for their rights until they are fully realized.
