LAHORE, Sept 11 The Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) staged a demonstration outside the Lahore Press Club on Friday against the Gilgit-Baltistan package.

The JKLF workers displayed banners and placards on which they had written slogans rejecting the Gilgit-Baltistan package and describing it as a conspiracy against the people of Kashmir.

Speaking on the occasion, JKLF Pakistan President Syed Faisal Nazki said 29,814 square miles Gilgit-Baltistan was an integral part of Jammu and Kashmiir.

The Pakistan government had no right to decide its future, but Pakistani rulers had announced the Gilgit-Baltistan Package to please the Americans.
