Pakistan denies giving control of Gilgit Baltistan in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir to China | Pakistan has strongly denied handing over de-facto control of the strategic Gilgit-Baltistan region in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK) to China. The New York Times reported that there was a simmering rebellion against Pakistani
rule and on the invitation of the Pakistani government, 'seven to eleven thousand'
Chinese soldiers had entered Gilgit-Baltistan area. The Pakistan Foreign Office
strongly denied the news being circulated in the American and Indian media, claiming
that 'Gilgit-Baltistan' region had been handed over to China , on Tuesday. "The
Chinese were working on landslide, flood hit areas and on the destroyed Korakoram
Highway with the permission of Pakistani Government," the Dawn quoted Foreign
Office spokesman Abdul Basit, as saying. Referring to the article, Basit said:
"The statements are based on incomplete information. Harrison has an anti-Pakistan
mindset and has tried to deform the facts in his article to sensitize the situation." |
