    • Agencies Tags : PoK polls, Jammu Kashmir, Gilgit Baltistan Posted: Friday , Nov 13, 2009 at 1907 hrs New Delhi:

    India slammed the first Assembly elections held in Pakistan-held Northern Areas of Jammu and Kashmir, terming it as "another cosmetic exercise" to camouflage Pakistan's illegal occupation of the state.

    "The elections in Gilgit-Baltistan are just another cosmetic exercise intended to camouflage the fact of Pakistan’s illegal occupation of areas of the state of Jammu and Kashmir," External Affairs Ministry spokesman Vishnu Prakash said.

    He was commenting on the polls held yesterday in Northern Areas, which were recently renamed as Gilgit-Baltistan.

    Results will be announced on Saturday.

    The Northern Areas, parts of Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir, have been governed directly by Islamabad ever since Pakistan occupied these in 1947.

    Ahead of the elections, Pakistan launched a crackdown on the Gilgit-Baltistan Democratic Alliance (GBDA), which is opposed to Pakistani occupation of the regions.

    Pakistani security forces arrested GBDA chairman Amanullah Khan and a number of other top leaders of the group.

    According to Balwaristan National Front, a group opposed to Pakistani occupation, Pakistani forces and intelligence agencies have been active in suppressing the whole indigenous population of Gilgit-Baltistan.

    Kashmiris subjugatedBy: hasan | 14-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward India's refusal to hold plebiscite in kashmir according to the UN resolutions has caused all the problems for the Kashmiris.
    Get a lifeBy: Jamilla | 14-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward Dream on. It is never going to happen. UN resolutions are not enforceable anyway. Until 1980, J and K was one of the most prosperous and peaceful state in India. It is your ISI in cahoots with mullahs and military that destroyed all this in order to justify their existence. You illiterate and ignorant Pakis always fall for it hook, line and sinker.
    Paki and assembly pollBy: Ramaiah | 14-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward The fake assembly poll in POK by Pakis is nothing more strange than the fake assembly polls in IoK, Arunachal, Assam and the whole North East countries by fake democracy-colonial legacy in essence. Bravo democracy!
    Gilgit Baltistanis can now proudly refer to themselves as Pakis!By: Mhoammed PedofileBeUponHim | 14-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward With this great achievement, Gilgit Batlistan is now part of the great Ummah, and can proudly refer to themselves as Pakis, and can feel secure that they are now protected by the great nuclear Bomb of Pakis.
    Paki bombBy: k madhukar | 14-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward Dear Mohommed, we are now told by your AO khan, step father of Pak nuclear bomb, that these bombs are designed by chinese and like all their sub-standard products, may not explode.In that case the brave Baltese should look to Allah and not to dud pak bombs for protection.
    Paki, PakiBy: Hero Vaz | 13-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward The Kashmiris in POK hate Pakistan because they see the wretched state of the country and they strongly resent being referred to as Pakis, a universally acknowledged term of contempt.
