The rebel group was led by Barrister Sultan Mehmood, a former prime minister of AJK and a leading contender for the post after the 2011 elections in AJK. He lost the opportunity to Abdul Majeed then. With PML-N taking over the government in Islamabad, the faction led by Sultan Mehmood saw it as an opportune moment to topple the AJK government and seize power with the help of the PML-N members in AJK assembly.

Both the so called AJK and Gilgit Baltistan do not have representation in the Pakistan Parliament. In the wake of elections, a section of people has urged that relations between Islamabad and the so called AJK need to be revisited and redefined. They have demanded basic political rights which include empowerment and representation in the federal assembly of Pakistan. PML-N (Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz) 's victory in the elections has raised a great deal of apprehension in PoK as both AJK and Gilgit Baltistan currently have PPP-led governments.

    https://freedomhouse.org/report/freedom-world/2015/pakistani-kashmir#.VdW90K-zsPo.cleanprint Pakistani Kashmir * freedomhouse.org In 2014, 12 political activists in Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) were sentenced to life imprisonment under the country’s antiterrorism laws for speaking out for the rights of the local people. This prompted protests calling for the removal of such laws. A series of attacks on Shiite Muslim communities in Pakistan during the year killed a number of GB residents, leading to protests. In October, sectarian militants attacked a van of Shia Muslims on Gilgit-Skardu road, killing three people. Monsoon rains across the valley in 2014 flooded many regions of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) and GB. In AJK, 63 people lost their lives; 11 were reported dead in GB. Political Rights and Civil Liberties: Political Rights: 9 / 40 (+1) [Key] A. Electoral Process: 4 / 12 (+1) Pakistan seized control of both AJK and GB following the partition of British India in 1947. AJK enjoys nominal self-government, while Pakistan assumed direct administration of GB. Pakistan never formally incorporated either territory, leaving them neither sovereign nor provinces of Pakistan. Instead the relationship has been determined by various provisional arrangements pending a final settlement of the dispute with India. Article 1 of the constitution of Pakistan, which defines the territories of the country, obliquely refers to these areas as “such States and territories as are or may be included in Pakistan, whether by accession or otherwise.” AJK operates under an interim constitution enacted in 1974. A president, elected by the Legislative Assembly, serves as head of state, while the elected prime minister is the chief executive.

  • Farrukh Thesis Without Pictures
    Social Media Representations of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, and their Relation to Metropolitan Domination: The Case of Attabad Lake Syed Khuraam Farrukh Geography Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (MA) Faculty of Social Sciences, Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario © 2019 Abstract This thesis links the colonial and post-colonial representational history of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan with new actors, emerging representational practices, and contemporary cellular, digital, and virtual modes of representation. The power-laden, partial, and exclusionary nature of colonial representations is well established; this thesis investigates the emerging role of new actors, virtual spaces, and altered representational practices in relation to colonial and post- colonial representations. In order to do this, the thesis examines the representational practices of a range of local and down-country Pakistani actors in virtual spaces, as they relate specifically to the Attabad Lake, a natural disaster turned tourist hotspot in Hunza, Gilgit-Baltistan. Situating Attabad’s touristification (itself a product of improved road links, cellular connectivity and the site’s visual attractiveness) against the backdrop of colonial and postcolonial representational practices pertaining to Gilgit-Baltistan, I analyze how virtual spaces act as institutional platforms for the production and reproduction of predominantly orientalist discourse. Using textual and pictorial evidence from four virtual data streams (two Facebook pages and two Instagram accounts), I develop the argument that contemporary online representations of Attabad constitute Gilgit-Baltistan discursively in ways that perpetuate (and sometimes disrupt) longstanding colonial and postcolonial portrayals of the region and its people. A significant effect of these online representations is to legitimate Gilgit-Baltistan’s political, economic and cultural domination and control by lowland Pakistan and the Pakistani state.
