WATCH | Locals in PoK's Gilgit Baltistan hold massive protests after Pakistan Army forcibly occupies land

Gilgit Baltistan, Dec 22: With the situation in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir worsening, massive protests have erupted after the Pakistani troops are forcibly occupying land in Gilgit Baltistan.

 

 

A video is surfacing in which locals can be seen staging a protest against the Pakistani forces saying that they won’t allow Pak's Frontier Corps or Pak Rangers to occupy their land. It clearly shows how the Pakistani security forces were trying to occupy locals' lands in the area to install camps.

 

However, the locals took out to the streets of Gilgit Baltistan and protested against the Pak forces. In the video, the protesting locals can be heard saying, "The land belongs to us, but the Pakistan forces are coming to take it away from us." The locals also insulted the Pak troops saying, "This land does not belong to your father."

 

 

 

The protestors did not allowed the Pak security personnel and their vehicles to enter into their land and also did the barricading, saying that they won't be allowing the Pakistani security forces to use their land.

 

It is pertinent to mention that Pakistan has been forcing troops from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab provinces into PoK's Gilgit-Baltistan to establish their camps there. Its been Pakistan's modus operandi to first establish army camps in the minerals riched region of Gilgit Baltistan and then exploit the region without giving due credit or jobs to the locals.
