Gilgit, Taking notice of the frequent incidents of terrorism in the Gilgit, Chief Minister Gilgit-Baltistan Syed Mehdi Shah has directed the law enforcement agencies to take stern action against the militants.

He ordered the agencies on Thursday to submit a report to him in this regard.

The DSP of investigation wing Muhammad Ibrahim was gunned down by unknown attackers on Wednesday evening in front of his home in Gilgit city. He was taken to hospital but succumbed to injuries.

In a separate incident, a young man Sikandar, hailing from Shigar area of Baltistan, was also killed. The body of the deceased was hanged with a tree.

Same day, in another incident of terrorism, a resident of Burmus area, Azizur Rehman was injured in firing near Jamat Khana Bazar Gilgit.

Source (dardistantimes) The Chief Minister of Gilgit-Baltistan, Mr. Mehdi Shah participated in the Annual Sports Week of Public School and College in Skardu. Parents, teachers and school administration were envisaging Shah to encourage knowledge, excellence, learning, and merit — the ideals that a sound minded would like to see instilled in the teens. But, guess what, he uttered none of those beautiful words. Instead, Shah elaborated that he became the Chief Minister, for he was always a dumb student.

“My classmates were brilliant and I was always a dumb student and that’s why I am the Chief Minister”, Shah exemplified himself.

Shah, even, did not say that the street-cred, public opinion, democratic values or something similar to that pushed him to serve his nation or to become a Chief Minister. Instead, he said that, after God, it was Zardari who made him the Chief Minister. Democracy exposed!

The School kids were further astonished the way Shah lied to them that he has pursued a Ph.D. in politics.  As a matter of fact, Mehdi Shah holds only a secondary school certificate. Isn’t it a masterpiece classic hoax?

Speaking to his own people, Shah reaffirmed his allegiance to Larkana and to Zardari family. “Throughout my life, I have remained loyal and committed to one party and will remain so”, Shah said. That is right sir, why to waste expressing allegiance to the  poor people.

Jail qualifications, crime-credit, protégé-history and favouritism; all are serious social evils and it is unfortunate that politicians in our country so brazenly account them for their success stories.

The courts, at least, in Gilgit-Baltisan should bane speakers who publicly coquet dumbness, legal convictions, jail history (Ham Ney Jailein Kati Hain), police charges, favouritism, nepotism or public offences in their success stories. Keep the child away from the social evils!

If the political jugglers keep marketing these social evils to leverage their politics, evil, will no more remain an evil and what else could be a serious social evil than dumbness or ignorance? ( DT Talking Points)

Bullet proof vehicles have to be purchased for the CM and Governor Gilgit-Baltistan and if approved, it would cost 150 Million Rupees. I cannot understand the misery of why the government and the politicians always place their security on priority basis rather facilitating the people already deprived of even the basic amenities of life. The poor is dying of hunger and they are busy planning their personal security with the blood of people. If their security is so much important then why they are not arranging it by their own expenses? As they can manage it. Why they consider them self the most important to ones among all?Why they are taking the sectarian turmoil as deadly for them self only rather the victim is always the poor one who leaves his home early in the morning in search of his food?

For God sake Mr.Chief Minister & Mr.Governor nobody is going to hit you. Can you please refuse the bullet proof’s and order to spent these 150Million to setup a Professional institute i-e an Engineering, Medical or a Law college so that the youth can equip themselves with the modern and most demanded education which is inevitable in bringing up the status of this region equal to that of the modern world. And if yes, then I am sure that God will be protecting you from any attack of you fear. The whole region will then pray for your protection. They will volunteer them self to body guard you. This is all about “to do the needful in the time”
We must be aware of the fact that the only key to overthrow the threats of terror is by facilitating and promoting Education. The government is responsible to ensure the security of each and every person of its state. Purchasing only two bullet proof vehicles is not the solution to the problem.
