He said the demand of the people of Hunza was allocation of a regular seat in the legislative assembly, adding his party would continue struggle for the rights of the area.Talking to this correspondent, Baba Jan said for the last over 35 years the people of the valley have been meted out step-motherly treatment. He said by not fulfilling the long-standing demand of the people of the valley about one seat, the government ahs done yet another injustice with the people. He said the forthcoming seat was the product of rigging and by allocating it to the area the PPP was trying to rub salt into our wounds.He warned that if the government tried to ignore the demand of the area for additional seat, its results would be disastrous.Baang Weekly
