EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu, May 12: Mounting more pressure on Pakistan to liberate illegally occupied areas of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh, Government created official Twitter account of Gilgit-Baltistan in the official website of Union Territory (UT) of Ladakh. A new Twitter account has been created to further expose Pakistan’s atrocities in the areas of Gilgit-Baltistan- where people have already started agitating against oppressive measures of Pakistani rulers. Created in May 2020, the unverified account is called the ‘Official Twitter Account of Gilgit-Baltistan, Ladakh (U.T.), India’, and has the handle @GB_Ladakh_India. The link in the Twitter bio directs the user to the official site for the Ladakh administration. The account so far has only three tweets. The first tweet is from 9 May and reads: “#NewIndia On #Maharanapratap Jayanti…”.
On 4 May, India had warned Pakistan not to upset the status quo of Gilgit-Baltistan by attempting to bring the region under its control.
India had said the entire union territories of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and Ladakh, including the areas of Gilgit and Baltistan, are an integral part of India by virtue of its fully legal and irrevocable accession.
Three days later, on 7 May, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts for the J&K subdivision feature weather reports for Gilgit Baltistan and Muzaffarabad — areas of Kashmir under Pakistan’s illegal occupation. |
