Internet for Gilgit-Baltistan:Facts and Fallacies




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 law..Had they amended Clause 40 with addition to let other companies influx into GB when 2009-2018 Ordinance were drafted.

If one garner support from Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly ,diplomats ,left and right wing political parties of Gilgit-Baltistan then things will become easy.It is a long struggle.It is not like a flicker of eye that you will insert a dongle in your laptop and you will enjoy Netflix in Gilgit-Baltistan.

Please we need a collective resolve and struggle.Every next day i am observing posts from students and professionals on social media with their suggestions.I respect that but at the same time i urge them to understand ground realities.

One can consult a competent lawyer and Judge of Gilgit-Baltistan for a review.Lawyers and Journalists can also be taken in loop to unearth the real truth.

Please put in your energies in right direction else this struggle is futile.

The Gilgit-Baltistan’s Conundrum

Image
  The residents of ill-fated Gilgit could easily hear hovering helicopters , the loud music, and echoing slogans raised during parade rehearsal and witness the VIP movement on Shahrah e Quaid e Azam Gilgit before 1 November; the Independence Day of Gilgit-Baltistan. This day drifts us away to the liberation war of Gilgit-Baltistan when stout-hearted people of the difficult terrain liberated their land from the Dogra rule, governed the area as an Independent State for some days, and later joined Pakistan by choice in 1947.  The unfortunate, patriotic pro-Pakistan people celebrated 14 August with enthusiasm and fervor and are now preparing to celebrate the Independence Day of Gilgit-Baltistan with pomp and show.  The government officials and demagogues are going to deliver speeches to glorify the freedom fighters.They will lay wreaths on their graves to pay homage to their bravery and valor against the adversary.  Thanks to the Federation that it validates the sacrific...

Who is holding the spectre of Taliban in Gilgit-Baltistan?

Image
  US withdrew from Afghanistan in dark in accordance with it's foreign policy to exit 20 years of war, which it started to avenge 9/11 attack.The americans deliberately left heavy ammunition and weaponry behind to further aggravate the situation. As of now the fate of Aghanis is in the hands of war-lords and various Taliban factions.The recent developments suggest Afghanistan is advancing towards Civil war because most of the areas have been controlled by Talibans.Moreover Talibans are also striving hard to create unrest near Tajikistan's border along durand line. It may be anticipated that the northern part of Pakistan i.e Gilgit-Baltistan could also suffer from the ongoing outrage because one of cults of Taliban released a video of an open Kachery held in Babusar area.The spokesperson floated few of the concerns. The commander while reading a script also discussed about a deal finalised with echelons and political leadership of Gilgit-Baltistan in 2019 that means someone a...

Justice for Adiba

Image
Bride Adiba was strangled to death by in-laws in Shimshal,Gilgit-Baltistan.The body was left on river-bank.Though FIR was registered ,murderers were apprehended yet they were released on bail.This exposes our rotten justice system.Hence the threat posed to lives of women by domestic violence can't be condoned.  How could in-laws kill the newly wed bride ,wrapped the body in the blanket ,left in open and painted it as suicide. This case should thoroughly be looked into.Shame on those men and women who are involved in her murder.  Daughters are wed with a dream that they will live happily and become torch bearers of up coming generation being the first and primary institution BUT who knows that they will be choked to death like #Adiba by in-laws.  Raise your voice against domestic violence before it's too late. No one deserves to be killed this way.This is murder in cold blood.
