Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has demanded immediate resignation from Chief Minister Gilgit-Baltistan Hafiz Hafeezur Rehman over the ongoing crisis in Gilgit-Baltistan.
The shutter down strikes and protests by traders, political and civil society activists entered seventh day despite below minus 5 temperatures in most parts of the region. Federal government and provincial government of Gilgit-Baltistan are oblivious to growing uncertainty among people, said Central Spokesman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Fawad Chaudhry in a statement today.
According to the details issued by party's Central Media Department Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has demanded immediate resignation from Chief Minister Gilgit-Baltistan. Central Spokesman PTI Fawad Chaudhry slamming federal and provincial governments has stated that people of Gilgit-Baltistan are on the roads since December 21 calling on the government to withdraw all taxes imposed in Gilgit-Baltistan under GB Tax Adaptation Act 2012. PML-N government, he went on adding that, shut eyes to the crisis in GB like it did on the matter of 'finality of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH)'. The strike entered seventh day despite extreme weather conditions in most parts of Gilgit-Baltistan while CM GB is relishing in Islamabad.
Gilgit Baltistan region is a fundamental part of CPEC project and situation is being manipulated deliberately to appease Indian lobby, said Fawad Chaudhry.
The demands of the people of GB should be given due consideration, Fawad Chaudhry maintained pressing on the government to take immediate measures to prevent further worsening of the situation.
