1st November marks a glorious day in the history of Gilgit-Baltistan — the day when the brave heroes and martyrs of this land rose against the Dogra regime and hoisted the flag of freedom. Today, we pay rich tribute to all those valiant freedom fighters whose sacrifices gifted us the privilege of living freely in this most beautiful region of the world.
This day reminds us that freedom is not merely a blessing but also a profound responsibility. It is incumbent upon our youth to rise above sectarianism, ethnic and regional divides, and to embrace knowledge, skill, and unity as guiding principles. Through our conduct and character, we must demonstrate that we are an enlightened, resilient, and peace-loving nation capable of moving forward in step with the modern world.
Gilgit-Baltistan, with its breathtaking natural beauty, cultural diversity, and unmatched hospitality, stands as a paradise for travelers from across the globe. On this Independence Day, let us renew our pledge not only to safeguard our hard-earned freedom but also to play an active role in promoting the tourism, culture, and positive image of our homeland throughout the world.
Long Live Gilgit-Baltistan — Long Live Pakistan
