  2. My Dear Brothers of Darel – Diamer District,

    We are very sad for the dispute which rose among you and for the loss of 2 human lives whether they may belong to one ideology or other.

    I pray from the Almighty Allah to bless peace and harmony among our brothers throughout Gilgit-Baltistan and bless us with the courage to resolve our issues and disputes amicably. Aameen…!!
