The people of Gilgit-Baltistan got freedom from the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir on November 1, 1947 through their own resources, they established a new state of their own, Raja Shah Rais Khan became the President while Mirza Hassan Khan the Commander-in-Chief of the Gilgit scouts. The region had run its own government for 15 days and then offered Pakistan to take over the administration and to give the inhabitants citizenship and other human rights. I just want to highlight some points! 1) The people of Gilgit-Baltistan have been deprived by constitutional rights since the independence in 1947. 2) The brave people of the region fought the Dogras and got freedom but unfortunately still the government of Pakistan has not given us constitutional Rights. 3) We have no representatives in the parliament and senate of Pakistan, despite the sacrifices of thousands of the brave soldiers in war 1965, 1972 and 1999 Kargil war, in which Hawaldar Lalik Jan Saheed was awarded Nishan-e-Haider. #Gilgit_Baltistan_Zindabad #Pakistan_Payindabad
