Speaking to ANI, Nasir Aziz Khan, UKPNP spokesperson said people in Gilgit Baltistan have been on the streets protesting inflation and terrorism for many months.
He said, “United Kashmir People’s National Party has organised this protest in front of United Nations on 54th session of the UNHRC to highlight the issue we are facing in PoK and Gilgit-Baltistan. People are on the streets against the hefty charges on electricity bills, inflation, terrorism.”
