“I will talk to Gilani about additional seat of Hunza”, Nawaz Sharif
by Zulfiqar Ali Khan
Hunza, November 6: Kaira should have consulted all stakeholders before announcing the new package for Gilgit-Baltistan. This was stated by the former Prime Minister and Quaid of PML (N), Nawaz Sharif while addressing a gathering in Karimabad Hunza. He assured the people of Hunza to talk with Prime Minister for the additional seat of Hunza in Gilgit-Baltistan Legislative Assembly. He said if the PPP government is not interested, then the next government of PML (N) will give the seat to Hunza.
He also announced to double the educational seats for students of Gilgit – Baltistan in colleges and universities of Punjab, promising free education to the students from Gilgit-Baltistan in the Medical and Engineering colleges of the province ruled by his brother Shehbaz Sharif.
He said their future Government will establish all professional educational institutions in Gilgit-Baltistan so that the students should not leave the region for education.
Ghazanfar Ali Khan, the former Chief Executive of GB, in his speech requested the former PM to pressurise the government for allocating the seat for Hunza in the assembly.
Addressing the gathering, Shehryar Khan, the PML (N) ticketholder, demanded another seat for Hunza in the assembly. He demanded to establish a campus of KIU in Hunza and also establish a Cadet college. In order to increase prosperity and funds for development it is important to allocate a portion of the revenues generated from border trade for local development, he said. He further demanded improvement of Gilgit airport.
The political tycoons of the area are cherishing the recent packages announced for Gilgit Baltistan, but none of the common people did. The Legislative Council, as I call it because just changing and modifying Names valves void to me, is rendering a amphitheatre where ONE of the termites on the people’s resources has to turn “Gladiator”
Had been these people sincere and selfless to the area, they would strongly demanded the constitutional rights for the poor people of the neglected region. They are euphoric over getting flagged cars and a lot of Black money to maintain their riches.
Common man still suffers and strives to earn a livelihood and has hundreds of concerns to look after then to take part in these fake ELECTIONS.
promises, promises and promises…… no end to it. lets hope for the best.
Nawaz sharif is the only national leader which came to hunza and talked to the people in person. This shows that he is serious about the area. On November 12th we should vote for pml n (Sher)
As part of civilized advocacy, I have sent the gist of my speech at Karimabad rally to the Governor (and as such to the PM). I request PT to share these extracts with the readers.
