Description
Summary:Whereas Kashmir has been the focus of national and international attention for over seven decades, Pak-occupied Kashmir (POK) and GilgitBaltistan (GB)have eluded attention. On the important issue of State Subject, migration and the demographic composition of POK, migration from and into POK was included in the legislative competence of the Council headed by Pakistan's Prime Minister, thereby giving Pakistan exclusive control for determining migration and any change in the composition of the population of POK. Pakistan's Kashmir policy is driven by the primacy of strategy and interest over ideology of Islam and accession to Pakistan .Pakistan's policy has been shaped and driven by its army right from the beginning. Pakistan has followed a well calculated and sustained Pakistan's policy and practices in POK and GilgitBaltistan, in terms of its firm control over this strategic territory, manipulating local politics and government according to Islamabad's designs, using the region to have long term strategic alliance with China, turning the region into a ground for launching terrorism into Indian Kashmir and so on.
