PT Report

Gilgit, January 9: Sectarian conflict has taken the form of personal and familial enmities in Gilgit. Religious and sectarian organizations have been barred from interfering in state and government organizations. Those spreading sectarian hatred will never be spared.

He revealed that religious organizations have been attempting to induct their cronies and favourites in different government departments. He said that the government and administration are on the same page for ensuring merit-based selection of people.

He appreciated GB government for taking steps to ensure selection based on merit.

The Chief Secretary further said that the people of Nagaral handed over the culprit to police because there was tangible evidence.
