Shame on the educated people of Gojal
If both Muhammad Ali Akhtar and Mirza Hussain are present at the Ijtima’, who are they demanding to?
They are in the house together, thats where they are needed to raise their voices for culprits to hear, not out here on a road crowded with the victims of whatever injustice they are talking about.
They can boycott, walk-out, or resign from their comfy seats in the GBLA to show their unity with the people.
Historical People of Hunza & Nagar are brothers from the same line and have same history , culture, language etc
I appeal people from hunza and nagar to resolve issue as soon as possible through negotiation and do not exploit the situation for political gains, this demonstration seems to be for political gains , if leaders from nagar really want the welfare of nagar they must provide the health and educational facilities to people.
I suggest there should be some tehsil offices in hunza and some in nagar !
The grand protest at Ghulmet Nagar manifests the intensity of anger. Many times they highlighted and exposed their reservations and demands about the nascent H/Nagar district headquarter, offices of different departments and jobs. Certain illegal and unlawful appointments in different departments and the gradual shifting of offices to Hunza irked the people of Nagar. Although Nagar comprise of majority population than Hunza but neglected in giving due rights, which is beyond imagination.
Now the GB Govt and H/Nagar administration must realize the retaliation of Nagarians and take them in confidence. The illegal appointments in the name temporary posts and readvertise to fill them.
