GILGIT: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Sunday said that a consensus is now developed for giving provincial status to the Gilgit Baltistan, ARY NEWS reported.
“It was Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto who abolished the FCR system for the GB people while Asif Zardari gave a separate chief minister to the region,” he said while addressing a public gathering in the region and urged the masses to join hands with him for ensuring constitutional rights for the people of the autonomous region.
