Apparently, with the inclusion of Gilgit-Baltistan (G-B) as its fifth province, Pakistan would close the Kashmir cause and accept the August 5, 2019 annexation of Kashmir with India. Disgruntled with the underdevelopment of their region, most of them demanded G-B to be made the fifth province of Pakistan. And that all this while, India, Pakistan, and China have been tacitly redrawing the future topography of the region. Unlike India, Pakistan should not rely on sentimental rhetoric to deny state-level relationship with Israel. With wisdom on our side, may it give respite from lawlessness and misery to the people of Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Palestine.
