India has said that the entire region of Ladakh, Jammu & Kashmir including the regions of Gilgit-Baltistan (Pok) is an integral part of India, and the regions of Pok are now under the illegal occupancy of Pakistan, and the country has no right to take any major decision on the territories. Biding to that, India has told Pakistan to hand over the region to India and Vacate Pok.
India firstly issued a strict message to Pakistan through Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi and lodged a strong protest against the order issued by the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
India even said that these acts of covering won’t help Pakistan to cover their crimes in the region and human rights violation there.

The statement came a week after the Supreme Court of Pakistan issued a notice to the Advocate-General of Gilgit-Baltistan to amend the Gilgit-Baltistan Order of 2018, and to establish a caretaker government.
The decision was taken by a 7-member bench of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, to amend the Order of 2018, so those general elections could be held in September, and a caretaker government to be established until then.
What is Gilgit-Baltistan Order 2018?
Pakistan, even before, had tried to change the status of the illegally occupied region of India in 2009 by introducing Gilgit-Baltistan Empowerment and Self-Governance Order-2009.
This order of 2009 made two changes, first was its name which changed from Northern Areas to Gilgit-Baltistan.
The second was its overall status, which tried to project itself as a province of Pakistan with the appointment of the Chief Minister and Governor.
But, it still remained out of the Constitution of Pakistan.
In 2018, Pakistan again tried to intervene in the status of Gilgit-Baltistan by a resolution named Gilgit-Baltistan Order 2018, which did nothing but tried to show Gilgit-Baltistan as Pakistan’s fifth province.
India rejected all the orders and amendments in the past and accused Pakistan of gambling with the future of Gilgit-Baltistan.
