The Northern Areas of Pakistan were renamed as Gilgit-Baltistan by the Government of Pakistan last month along with long-awaited reform package for the region potentially paving the way for effective governance and development of a very down-trodden area. Mercenaries of Satan and disturbers of peace, however, wanted to destroy the goodwill created in these areas by the Federal Government’s announcement and in the last week leading up to the visit of the Prime Minister to Gilgit-Baltistan.

These vicious acts of violence appear to be planned to provoke a backlash that will not be detrimental for the people of the region and are designed to severely affect the Federal Government’s efforts to initiate the planned changes and economic development of the area.

We pray to the Almighty Allah for our brethren in Gilgit-Baltistan, may they have the strength and will to withstand these problems and get over this turbulent phase of time. We supplicate to Imam-e-Zamana (AJ), our and the entire humanity’s saviour, to help our brethren through these hard times and pray for Imam’s (AJ) early appearance which will end all oppression and injustice in the world (Ameen).
