India Slams Pakistan Over Plans To Declare Gilgit-Baltistan As Fifth Province
Screengrab from the video of MEA’s weekly press briefing
As Islamabad prepares to declare Gilgit-Baltistan as Pakistan’s fifth province, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) today (16 March) said such a step will not be able to hide the illegality of Pakistan’s occupation of the parts of Jammu and Kashmir.
Stating that Jammu and Kashmir is and will always remain an integral part of India, MEA spokesperson Gopal Baglay said any unilateral attempt from Pakistan’s side will be absolutely unacceptable. He added,
The Gilgit-Baltistan area is Pakistan’s northernmost administrative territory that borders the disputed Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab and Sindh are the four provinces of Pakistan.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
