Gilgit Baltistan is peaceful of land and the people of Gilgit Baltistan are very kind and peaceful but unfortunately the entire region has been severely divided on sectarian lines since the late eighties, after a group of “Jihadis” attacked a village called Jalalabad, located at the periphery of Gilgit City, and burnt it down, killing men, women, children and even animals, without discrimination. Nothing has since been known about the perpetrators, executioners, financiers and the planners of the attack. No one has been punished, and needless to say, justice has not been done.
After that attack, launched in 1988 nowhere else, in the entire region, are the sectarian divisions more visible than in Gilgit City. There are Sunni localities and then there are strictly Shia localities. These localities become no – go areas during times of sectarian clashes.

general Zia is responsible for the current situation of gilgit baltistan and at the day of judgement he is answerable to Allah .

ive been there last year, there is no visible sectaian or any other tension. they have a good system of administration, everything seems to work fine, and they always have enough electricity. food is cheap and the whole area is extremely secure thanks to army posts nearby.

they should not do the mistake of establishing provincial govt as the only change it will bring will be to influential families who will use their govts posts to profit themselves and not the people, just like everywhere else in Paksitan.

Actually Gilgit-Baltistan is very peaceful area. If there is a tension of other sectarian, nothing, it is foreign elements. People of that area are united and they are doing their best. I never see peaceful people but in this area. God Blesse them.

Dear Concerns,
i don’t know why we blame each other for such horrific incidents in Gilgit-Baltistan. if we are sincere to bring peace in our region, each of us should preach the lesson of unity,patience and brotherhood.In Gilgit-Baltistan there is huge Lacunae of trust and understanding among people.The reason of this mayhem is week local administrative control,unjustness and elusive assurance of federal government authorities. The state authorities must learn lesions form current disaster in swat and adjourning areas. so our humble request to state responsible authorities is to take proactive actions and draw strategies to resole critical issues of Gilgit-Baltistan.
My request to our younger generation to stand up in this hour of difficulty and lead your society by example. The parents must handover books and pens as weapon to fight against poverty,unjustes and Stringent riots.

The problem is that our nation is not realistic.Everyone extracts information of his own interest from a pool of data, the rest is ignored.e.g. the recent case in Gilgit,that Asad Zaidi was assassinated with other sect person also. No newspaper has indicated that the killing was indifferent to sects. If this kind of realistic coverage will be taken, there will come a balance in the region, But every Channel and Newspaper Editors try to make the news more suspicious and biased.

Integrating into the mainstream political system of Pakistan would be a grave mistake considering the fact that the people of Baluchistan want to get out of it. What is required is to reduce the social, cultural and adminstrative influence of Pakistan in the Region.
