Islamabad: Chief Minister Gilgit-Baltistan Haji Gulbar Khan hosted a delegation of Kashmiri leaders to address the recent Pahalgam incident and to reinforce regional solidarity at GB House Joining him were Raja Fahim Kayani, President of Tehreek-e-Kashmir UK and the All Parties Kashmir Alliance UK, Altaf Ahmed Bhat, Leader of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference and Chairman of the JK Salvation Movement, and Home Minister GB Shams ul Haq Lone.
'We stand shoulder to shoulder with our Kashmiri brethren,' declared CM Gulbar Khan. 'What occurred in Pahalgam was not a tragic mishap but a calculated scheme to isolate Pakistan on the world stage. The United Nations must act now-uphold its resolutions on Kashmir, demand an end to the killing of youth, halt the demolition of civilian homes, and stop all human rights violations in IIOJandK.'
The delegation characterized the Pahalgam attack as a 'false flag operation' engineered to tarnish Pakistan's reputation and drape the struggle for Kashmiri self-determination in a cloak of violence. They underlined that such orchestrated events only deepen the trauma endured by ordinary families living under persistent threat.
'Our people have already borne the heaviest burdens,' said Raja Fahim Kayani softly. 'Attempts to paint us as aggressors will never mute the cries of mothers mourning their children.'
'This was no isolated incident,' added Altaf Ahmed Bhat. 'It is part of a broader strategy to distract from the daily injustices in IIOJandK. We must unite our voices and demand accountability.'
Home Minister Shams ul Haq Lone echoed these sentiments, urging international media and human rights bodies to look beyond staged narratives: 'Propaganda may capture headlines for a moment, but it cannot erase the truths we live every day.' He added
Before concluding, the Chief Minister and his guests committed to a coordinated campaign that will include diplomatic outreach, targeted media engagement, and humanitarian support for affected communities.
