    So you agree then that what 'he said' translates to 'we have received information from the administration/bureaucracy, security agencies, secret agencies and military that extremists/Taliban are sheltering in GB and receiving support in GB' and does not translate to the caption accompanying the journalists comments in the video stating that 'the Army/ISI is supporting extremists/Taliban in GB'.

    The video is nothing but a propaganda piece spouting outright lies by fabricating and distorting the comments made by the local journalist interviewed in the video.
    Jump to 4:00, and he directly blames the instability and rising violence in Gilgit on the Pakistan state's presence in the region. Lost in translation again?
    More like an obstinate refusal on your part to acknowledge that I accepted the validity of his arguments regarding a lack of autonomy and the imposition of Pakistani laws and courts on GB - here they are again:

    "The last part about GB being 'treated as a colony by Pakistan with courts run under the Pakistani system and limited autonomy' is an accurate representation of the journalists comments. Some of these issues were supposed to have been settled with the reforms introduced under the previous PPP government, and I do not know how old this particular interview is to determine whether the comments were made before the reforms were implemented or after."

    Starting from 4:00 the journalist talks about how the conditions in GB deteriorated after 1947, comments that on their own do not suggest that the ISI/Army was/is supporting terrorists in GB, but rather point to the abysmal job of governance done by successive Pakistani governments.

      Ok damn the first video, what about the second and third video where shias/ Baltis were massacred.
      Some reports state that 20 were killed, so my earlier stated figure of 47 maybe incorrect.

      Cheers!...on the rocks!!
