Chairman Balawaristan National front Abdul Hamid Khan met Mr. Jürgen Creutzmann, the head of Friends of Gilgit-Baltistan in the European Parliament, and discussed the present situation of Gilgit-Baltistan in the context of UN resolutions. It was agreed that the issue should be solved by keeping the views of the indigenous people and Pakistan has to withdraw its forces and civilians by its obligation of its commitment in the court of UN. The people of Gilgit-Baltistan should not be deceived by the so-called elections and its so-called assembly, which does not match with any international standard of democracy, where the local indigenous national parties were not allowed to participate. It means this does not fulfill the aspirations of the people.

Students asked to unite
Chairman Balawaristan National Front (BNF) Abdul Hamid Khan has asked the students of Gilgit-Baltistan to forge unity in their ranks and struggle for the achievement of all basic rights of the people of the region. He was speaking to the newly-elected office-bearers of Balawaristan National Students Organization (BNSO) on the telephone from Brussles. Mr Khan congratulated the new office-bearers of the students' body and hoped that they would continue the mission of the party. The spokesman of the BNF Safdar Ali Burhanulla and the president of the BNSO Hyder Abbas were the chief guests at the oath-taking ceremony. They also injustice have been done with the people of Gilgit-Baltistan for the last 63 years and the students should work against these injustices and for protection of basic rights of the masses.
