PM Imran unveils Rs370bn uplift package for Gilgit Baltistan
SKARDU: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday unveiled a five-year Rs370 billion uplift package for the scenic region of Gilgit Baltistan.
Addressing a ceremony here, the prime minister Imran Khan said: “I have done some mistakes in the past. I regret giving tickets to many people but one thing I did right was to make Khalid Khursheed Khan the chief minister of Gilgit Baltistan.”
“When I visited the GB 55 years back, there was an impression that the people here are being treated as second-class citizens. The people of GB had no powers.”
“In the past, the Centre would thought that the GB people had no capability to take decisions on their own,” Prime Minister Imran Khan pointed out, adding, “We gave Gilgit-Baltistan provincial status.”
