The protesters called it an action aimed at rigging the elections in the region. They demanded reversal of the decision and appointment of a neutral local as the Governor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The enraged workers and leaders of PPP condemned the appointment and said that Barjees Tahir will be treated &#8220;with shoes&#8221; on landing in Gilgit. They said that only a local can be appointed as the Governor of Gilgit-Baltistan and that appointing a non-local, whose name doesn&#8217;t appear in the regional electoral list, is a violation of the GB Empowerment and Self Governance Order 2009. They also condemned the &#8220;self-serving&#8221; amendment made in the said order.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The protest demonstration was attended among others by Amjad Hussain Advocate, who is also a member of the Gilgit-Baltistan Council. Others present included ex-minister Muhamamd Naseer, ex-MLA Ayub Shah, Dr. Bahadur Shah Gilgit, to name a few.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is pertinent to note that the PPP had announced to challenge the appointment in a court. Similar announcement has also been made by PTI, who have vowed to &#8220;resist&#8221; the appointment.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\"><p>PPP leaders, workers, protest against appointment of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BarjeesTahir\">@BarjeesTahir<\/a> as new governor of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Gilgit?src=hash\">#Gilgit<\/a>&#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Blatistan?src=hash\">#Blatistan<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Gilgit?src=hash\">#Gilgit<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/ht4VJwedkK\">pic.twitter.com\/ht4VJwedkK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 pamirtimes (@pamirtimes) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pamirtimes\/status\/567286722673655808\">February 16, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reporting by S.U.Saqib Gilgit: Leaders and workers of Pakistan Peoples Party staged a protest demonstration in Gilgit against the appointment of KANA Minister Barjees Tahir as the Governor of Gilgit-Baltistan.
