New Delhi, July 4
The war of words between India and Pakistan over Gilgit-Baltistan has heated up at a time of heightened tensions on the LAC amid calls in New Delhi to move beyond mere statements. Pakistan plans to hold elections in Gilgit-Baltistan next month, which India has opposed saying that it’s a part of India and that Islamabad must return the area.
Recently, National Security Advisory Board member Tilak Devasher urged New Delhi to move beyond the cosmetic exercise of including Gilgit-Baltistan in its weather bulletin. — TNS
