Gultari and the Northern Areashttp://www.dawn.com/2002/08/28/letted.htm#5This

refers to your editorial 'Clash in Gultari' (Aug 25) concerning the recent

infantry and air attacks by the Indian forces in Gultari area. The press and

the ISPR have been treating Gultari as part of Kashmir which is not correct.

Actually it is part of Gilgit and Biltistan (Northern Areas). We, the people of

Northern Areas, don't favour the idea of Gultari being part of Kashmir or the

Kashmir conflict as being regarded by the authorities in their statements and

their correspondence with the UN, international community and organizations.

However, if such is the case then we would have been provided with fundamental

and democratic rights. For the last 54 years, we have been involved in the

Kashmir conflict against our free will and denied constitutional rights,

including representation in the elected House. We are subjected to the worst

violation of our fundamental rights whereas the people of the Indian-held the

Azad Kashmir enjoy constitutional status as well as other rights. Such

geographical misprints have only been adding to our grief. MALIKA BALTISTANI
