I think its complete failure of Law and enforcement Agencies in GB. After Spending 50 % of Development funds on Security Matters, IS Duties Expenditure, Paying 50% Raised packages to Rangers and all if this is what result is then there must consensus on all the ground that take our two year development Funds and Budget , Clean 5KM’s Areas through Army. I have taken this Step as Engineered one to prove Local Bureaucracy’s and Law Enforcement Agency’s are Justifying there Expenses and Looting Heads. If Pakistan Army can take control over 50 Km Meters in Swat why not then in Gilgit. which is 5 KM. I think ” Looting And Plundering Head” of Security Issues in GB has made may Official’s and Corrupt Officers Millionaires in past 10 Years. I think All the Members of Civil Society, Members of Reconciliation community, GBVM Volunteers, all Leftist and Rightist all must asked GOP for Relief i.e. “Once for all De-weaponized GB” we need peace only in GB, Other constitutionalists Movement will automatically get their results then.
