leave a comment »

After being given a new status, the first election for the Gilgit-Baltistan Legislative Assembly has completed peacefully with relatively few incidents of violence. Indeed it is a very good sign. In a scenario where the whole country is in a sate of war, the peaceful election in Gilgit-Baltistan is no less than a blessing. The people of Gilgit-Baltistan have proved that they are civilised and peaceful.

Also there was no sectarian propaganda during the election campaigns. The Legislative Assembly would be a ray of hope for the local people who have been deprived of their rights since 1947. I congratulate the people of Gilgit-Baltistan on this occasion. (The News Internaitonal)

Taliban Slaughter Four Chitrali Passengers in Bajaur

with one comment

CHITRAL: In a very unfortunate incident, four Chitralis were slaughtered by Taliban in Bajaur. According to reports, the Chitralis were travelling to Peshawar from Chitral. They got into a wagon in Timergarah for Peshawar. When they reached Mandal Khawar area of Khar tehsil, the militants waylaid the vehicle and asked if there is any Chitrali in the wagon. Later, they checked the ID cards of the passengers and pulled the Chitralis down and killed them. Two of the ill-fated Chitralis were brothers and belonged to Karimabad in Garam Chashma; one was from Shogram and the fourth was a resident of Kosht. Those  who were slained included Syed Hussain son of Syed Ameeri and Syed Anwar Hussain son of Syed Ameri residents of Karimabad, Abdul Jalil son of Qazi Khan resident of Kosht and Jamshid Ahmad son of Muhammad Khan resident of Shogram. It is unfolding why the Chitralies were singled out to be slaughtered. Multiple factors could be the catalyst for the barbaric happenings including  target killing based on a specific fraternity affiliation. The bodies of the victims have been dispatched to Chitral.

Chitrali people were optimistic about the opening of the Lowari Tunnel, the only to-be link of the region that would connect it with the rest of the country. However, the existing extreme hatred at the other mouth of the tunnel(lower and upper Dir and Swat) blures their image politically and economically.
