Disputed in nature and according to UNS resolutions Pakistan had no lucus standi. AJK so called PM is not authorised to allotted a state land to non state subject.”

Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, which as per Pakistan is an autonomous region has been struggling to secure even basic rights from Pakistani Occupation Forces for over seven decades.

Shaukat Ali Kashmiri, has said Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) is part of the former princely state of Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is not authorised to allot PoK’s land to non-state subjects. This tweet was in response to a news that almost three acres of land have been granted for Sindh House in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

In January, United Kashmir People’s National Party (UKPNP) spokesperson Sardar Nasir Aziz Khan had briefed about the human rights situation, growing extremism and terrorism in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. During the UKPNP Calgary Conference. Khan briefed regarding the human rights situation in Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan on growing terrorism, extremism and free-roaming of banned outfits in PoK.

He further said unemployment, inflation, lack of infrastructure, discrimination towards Kashmiri nationalists, strict restrictions on freedom of expression, press and publications, and freedom of association in Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan are the main concerns.

Earlier in December last year, Shaukat Ali Kashmiri raised concerns over the deprivation of basic rights of the people in Gilgit-Baltistan.

Taking a dig at Pakistan, the rights activist said Gilgit-Baltistan is part of the former princely state of Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistan’s policy is aimed at depriving the people of their fundamental rights and propagation against Indian involvement.

“Gilgit-Baltistan is part of the former princely state of Jammu and Kashmir and people are deprived of basic rights. It’s Pakistani policy and fashioned to deprive people and propagation against Indian involvement. Pakistani is a country that always used religious sentiments,” Shaukat Ali Kashmiri wrote on Twitter.
