In the wake of many allegations of unrest in Gilgit-Baltistan and the use of security personnel to maintain calm, caretaker Federal Information Minister Murtaza Solangi on Sunday refuted the "false news" and "misleading social media narratives."

On X, formerly known as Twitter, the acting information minister posted: "Gilgit-Baltistan is experiencing peace and stability. Roads, businesses, schools, and institutions are all open, demonstrating a feeling of normalcy.

The minister also opposed using the army to quell the protests, but he did confirm that it would be used to maintain security when Hazrat Imam Hussain's (RA) chehlum fell the next week.

The allegations of unrest are untrue; neither public nor private property was damaged, nor were bullets fired.

The temporary minister declared that Gilgit Baltistan "remains a haven of peace and harmony."

GB 'completely peaceful'

Earlier, the Home Department of Great Britain had also made it clear that everything in the area was quiet.

According to the department, all trade and business centers, educational institutions, and communication routes are open as usual in Gilgit-Baltistan. The department also noted that the Pakistan Army and Civil Armed Forces have been enlisted to help maintain law and order during the Chehlum Imam Hussain (RA), and that additional special security measures have been put in place to protect Imambargahs and procession routes.

Reports of the British government's decision to use the army to maintain law and order in the area surfaced the day before.

As said, the choice was taken at a meeting of the Parliamentary Peace Committee, which was presided over by Chief Minister Gulbar Khan of the United Kingdom. Given the reported deterioration of the peace.

In order to maintain calm in the region, the GB administration banned "illegal gatherings" and the blocking of streets, and large contingents of Rangers, scouts, and law enforcement were slated to be deployed in all major cities.

The chief minister of Great Britain issued a severe warning against promoting hatred on social media and through other channels.
