The Gilgit administration has registered an FIR against Mir Babar Hussain, Vice Chairman of Karakoram Students Organization (KSO), for a statement made on social media during the Pak-Afghan tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the administration, Mir Babar\u2019s statement was considered a \u201cpro-Afghanistan stance\u201d and a threat to the integrity of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to sources, the FIR has taken the position that the young leader\u2019s statement was irresponsible in a sensitive situation, which could have a negative impact on public sentiment and the state narrative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, political and social circles of Gilgit-Baltistan have reacted strongly, calling the action against a peaceful student leader unfair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They say that criminalizing dissent is tantamount to pushing the youth towards further anxiety and distrust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Public circles have demanded that the government provide opportunities for dialogue and democratic expression of opinion to the youth, rather than suppressing their voices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
