Pakistan' s Position on Kulbhushan Jhadav : Kulbhushan Jhadav was arrested in March 2016 from Mushkal area of Baluchistan, Pakistan when he orchestrated to meet Baloch militants of Baluchistan Liberation Army (BLA).Probably he was betrayed and apprehended by security forces of Pakistan. When he was taken into custody he had two identities. One was Kulbhushan Jhadav,the name he was recruited to Indian Army with in 1987. Later he joined Research Analysis Wing (RAW) as Commander Indian Navy. He also had held a passport with another name Hussain Mubarak Patel , found during his detention. He was not only an agent of Research Analysis Wing (RAW) and naval officer but a despicable tool to fuel anti-state elements and terrorist attacks to sabotage national security of Pakistan. He was in direct contact with Alok Joshi ,the Ex-Head of RAW  and Ajeet Doval National Security Adviser of India. This was the position Pakistan maintained in it's Military courts and International Court of Jus...

Everyone of us need to align and streamline our facts instead of fallacies. First of all there is a misconception that we will invite private companies like Witribe,Nayatel,Multi-net and other ISPs to provide their internet services in Gilgit-Baltistan. Not a single company is authorized to operate in Gilgit-Baltistan except SCO under clause 40 of Pakistan Telecommunication Regulatory Authority Ordinance 1996 and adaptation of Gilgit-Baltistan governance Order 2009-2018 article 71 which states that any citizenry and company can go to court against illegal operation and execution in Gilgit-Baltistan. Clause 40 Pakistan Telecom Regulatory Authority Ordinance 1996 This is totally a political issue.Imagine Gilgit-Baltistan Council that is the supreme body of GB ,PTA ,telco giant of Pakistan and Frequency Allocation Board failed to stand before SCO in Court in 2018 due to Clause 40. Article 71 Governance Order 2009 Our diplomats were at relentless sleep.Therfore they failed to amend this la...

Historic Perspective: The Sino-Indian War between the two South Asian powers  China  and  India  started in 1962.The disputed Himalaya Ladakh,Tibet and Thagla resorted to be the bone of contention that led to war. Mcmahon line was the border line of British India and China but China did not identify this line as legitimate border line and it considered these areas as part of it's own territory. Therefore it deployed troops on border, evidently it was a border violation so India took the issue to international community in response.  Meanwhile a revolt took place in Tibet in defiance of Chinese occupation and People's Liberation Army (PLA) in 1959. The most powerful spiritual leader of Tibet Dalai Lama was evacuated to India. The rebellion eventually intensified the dispute between China and India. India retaliated to China’s hostility on border and adopted a Forward policy under the premiership of Jawaher Lal Nehru and moved its heavy troops on bo...

Online lectures and exams amid Corona pandemic sparked a raucous debate about digital divide and poor data services in the country ,especially in the peripheral and difficult terrain Gilgit-Baltistan. The LTE and broadband internet in Gilgit-Baltistan is solely dependent upon an army owned Telecommunication operator named as Special Communication Organization (SCO). The telecom giant SCO has failed so far to live up to the expectations of the populace. The students of GB in dismay staged protests against SCO in various districts of Gilgit-Baltistan. It is said that other telecom operators are restrained to provide LTE services in the region due to monopoly of SCO. The popular narrative of students is to allow other telecom companies to step into the spectrum to provide LTE services. Though they only provide voice services. To unearth the truth about SCO's monopoly one has to unveil the history .In 1976,SCO was given the sole responsibility of managing telecommunication in Gilgit-Ba...
