Addressing a press conference former minister of Gilgit-Baltistan Dr Muhammad Iqbal demanded the Prime Minister of Pakistan to immediately announce provisional constitutional province till the resolution of Kashmir dispute. 
Unnecessary delays may develop uncertainty among people of Gilgit-Baltistan, over 90% of the people want full-fledged provincial status, said Dr Iqbal.
He further added, our forefathers have unilaterally liberated Gilgit-Baltistan from the clutches of Dogra Raj and extend unconditional accession with Pakistan, we stand with cause of Kashmir dispute, giving provisional constitutional status will not affect the struggle of Kashmiris, we deplore state terrorism by India in the Valley and Jammu, altering the status of IOJK is sheer violations of international law and the constitution of India, Modi’s malicious designs have increased insecurity to minorities living in India, said the former minister.
CPEC, Diamer-Bhasha Dam and other mega projects requires constitutional cover, said Dr Iqbal
He said, PTI will secure 10 to 12 legislative assembly seats in the upcoming elections and it will form government with support of independents and other parties. Bilawal is trying to convince people for vote but this time people of GB are with PTI. 
He said, my constituency GBLA-03 has many issues to be resolved, my focus is to establish medical college at the designated location, a big hospital, female education, sewerage, clean drinking water, carpeted roads in the entire constituency and rural development.
The former minister said, we are holding a rally with the support of politicians, business leaders of GB, youth and civil society on October 24, 2020 from National Press Club Islamabad to D-chowk to make our voices heard in front of the national legislature, the presidency and the premier of Pakistan.
