The Demise of Wajahat Hassan Khan
Colonel Retired Khan Wajahat breathed his last in Rawalpindi this morning. He was the son of Mirza Hassan Khan; the freedom fighter and iconic figure of Gilgit-Baltistan. Late Col Wajahat after his father followed his father's legacy and took part in politics to pull out the people of Gilgit- Baltistan from socio-political and constitutional quagmire. He along with his cronies Late Maj Hussain Shah and others formed a political party to address the grievances of Gilgit-Baltistan and both of them faced the music for their struggle. Late Col retired Wajahat voiced Gilgit-Baltistan's constitutional orphanage on various international forums while in exile for his socio-political activism. He had been politically victimized till his last breath. The people of Gilgit-Baltistan shouldn't forget the sacrifices he and his family gave to Gilgit-Baltistan. How ill-fated we humans are; in the end some messages and voice notes are the only memories we are left with. Goodbye Veteran, yo
