About Gilgit Baltistan

Note: Courtesty of GEO, Pakistan and Jawab Deh of Iftikhar Ahmad for inclusion of this video in our web site to give awareness to the people of Gilgit Baltistan about their constitutional rights

For centuries Kashmiris have lived under suppression and subjugation. The worst hit by this has been the Kashmiri Muslim. In the words of the Muslim Conference leader, the late Chowdhary Ghulam Abbas, "The condition of Muslims in all respects was very bad . . . Poverty, penury, helplessness and humiliation was their destiny. They earned livelihoods from menial jobs." A Kashmiri Muslim was all along discriminated against by Hindus, who were in a minority, but were always hand in glove with the ruling Hindu elite. APHC White Paper

All-Parties Hurriyat Conference

The All-Parties Hurriyat (Freedom) Conference is a conglomerate of 23 Kashmiri separatist groups. Formed in 1993, the APHC states that it is committed to seeking dialogue with the Indian government on a broad range of issues. Some of members seek independence for Kashmir, while others want Kashmir to become part of Pakistan. The APHC proposes convening a tripartite conference on Kashmir, including India, Pakistan, and representatives of the Kashmiri people. Hurriyat leaders also have demanded Kashmiri representation at any talks between India and Pakistan on Kashmir.
