A Comparative Study of Pakistan Occupied Jammu-Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan

Pakistan divided the areas of Erstwhile POJK into two parts in 1970. One part was called Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) while the second part was called Gilgit-Baltistan (Northern Areas). It is necessary to note here that only Pakistan claims it as AJK however, there is no freedom in POJK, not even according to the international laws. On the other hand, Gilgit-Baltistan was an integral part of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir but Pakistan attempts to show it as a separate territory. These two areas are created only to misguide the international community and divert attention from the illegality of the occupation by Pakistan.
