Federal Minister for Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan, Ali Amin Gandapur along with Federal Minister for Information Shibli Faraz addresses press conference. PHOTO: APPThe Ministry of Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan (KA&GB) has apparently made a mockery of regional government after it drastically curtailed G-B government’s powers, making it a subordinate department of the federal government. The official handout was referring to Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) projects being implemented in the region. Opposition leader in G-B Assembly Amjad Hussain termed the withdrawal of G-B government powers a plan made well before elections for corruption. He said the withdrawal of G-B government powers would open up floodgates of corruption for the federal government.
