Diamer, Gilgit Baltistan / Muzaffarabad PoK, 05 APRIL, 2022: - Pakistan is grappling with an unprecedented political crisis and the spiralling instability in the country is set to have bearings all around. While its economy was already reeling owing to Islamabad’s flawed policies, the other institutions too fear cracks or complete collapse amidst this deteriorating situation. And while the media world over is focusing on the country's power centre and its close proximity, it is the people in the illegally occupied regions who are more fearful of their imminent future. Like lawyers in Gilgit Baltistan have no idea how the situation would pan out for them. They have been holding demonstrations demanding a judicial bench in what has been declared against their will a provisional province of Pakistan.
