Q.
In a quiet move, Pakistan is handing over de-facto control of the strategic Gilgit-Baltistan region in the Occupied Kashmir to China in an area witnessing a simmering rebellion against Islamabad.
mystery surrounds the construction of 22 tunnels in secret locations, where even Pakistanis are barred. Tunnels would be necessary for a projected gas pipeline from Iran to China that would cross the Karakorams through Gilgit.

India it appears has long given up the right of POK. Right from, Pandit Nehru due to his foolish decision of not going by Sardar Patel words is a lost cause. China is taking advantage of the situation for their gains. PAK needs some support and they have joined with China like our enemies enemy is my friend. Our Indian govt has a very weak external affairs ministry who would react only after the situation becomes bad.
