Nothing can replace self help
Need to concentrate on our own potential to achieve.
Is it really important to talk our issues with this man.. do we know, who is this man??? not worth and not even the right approach
I am afraid that the central figures in this meeting might sell the resources of Hunza to this so-called senator who has purchased his seat by paying money to the JUI. They are using youth and innocent locals to forward their own agendas, in the name of highlighting issues in front of a powerless senator whose tenure in the senate is almost coming to an end.
I agree with Hisam sahib. we need strategic planning. Personal influences are short term gains and personal credit etc……will not lead us anywhere but will confuse us.
Ruthless Hunter of Himalayan Ibex in the name of “trophy hunting” with the facilitators!
We should engage our self with honest and credible leadership, i think at this stage there was no such need to interact with this guy, I would also agree with Hisamullah Beg Sb.
The only favour this Senator can do to the GB is to immediately remove the ugly graffiti and slogans that he has splashed along the KKH right from Gilgit to Hassanabdal
