The abrogation of this law resulted in great influx of outsiders into the region and threatened a demographic and sectarian change in Gilgit Baltistan which escalated local opposition to the rulers from outside.
The Shia population suspected that the administration was discriminative to their disadvantage and in , it organized a massive anti-government demonstration in Gilgit which was suppressed by the administration through the indiscriminate use of brute force. Thereafter, sectarian tension never left Gilgit.
In the sectarian clashes of 17 August , at least 22 lives were lost. The army had to be called in, which accused the Shia of acquiring arms from Iran and storing these in their mosques. Widely popular Shia leader Agha Ziau'd-Din, who had brokered peace among the warring factions by making the administration agree to the withdrawal of objectionable portions in some textbooks, was assassinated by Sunni assailants on 8 January His murder led to widespread disturbances, which were exacerbated by the murder of Inspector General of Police in March of the same year, perhaps to avenge the murder of the Shia cleric.
Violence, protests and shutdowns have not left Gilgit Baltistan ever since and the sectarian crisis continues to simmer.
The causes of discontent are many; Absence of political rights and years of promulgation of the FCR, discrimination of locals in recruitment to government jobs, admission and other privileges, absence of independent and impartial judiciary, recruitment of outsiders on critical and responsible administrative positions, sectarian and ethnic marginalization and above all, economic exploitation of the region without investment for development, are the identifiable reasons for the simmering discontent in the entire region. In addition, the massive presence of the Chinese workforce in the region, suspected to be actually People's Liberation Army PLA personnel, has also cast a gloom over any prospect of peace and prosperity of the region.
A close look at the map of Gilgit Baltistan will reveal its sensitive location and strategic importance. Construction of the Karakoram Highway by China, across the disputed region and connecting it with the Pakistani seaport of Gwadar in the Persian Gulf, has posed a serious threat to the security of the region. It is a strong step on the part of China to establish its military power in the Indian subcontinent. It is reported that China is virtually controlling the developmental projects in Gilgit Baltistan, moving in heavy machinery and large-scale manpower drawn from the PLA under the guise of technicians and engineers.
It is also reported that China has built scores of tunnels through which the railway line will pass and in which ballistic missile launching pads are also established.
Taking this scenario into consideration, one may conclude that it has a direct impact on the security and strategic alignment not only in Central and West Asia, but most importantly, in the Indo-Pacific region as well. This is Pakistan's proxy war against India. The protests will continue till the government meets the demands, the organizers have announced.

The broad masses of people in Gilgit Baltistan are carrying an impression that the reason why Pakistani authorities allowed massive influx of the Chinese into the Gilgit Baltistan region is that they apprehend that, they alone, may not be able to control the anti-Pakistan wave gaining strength in the region.
By opening up the region to the footprints of Chinese soldiers in the garb of engineers, technicians and skilled labourers, Pakistan has surrendered the local administration to Chinese authorities, whose ultimate interest lies in building their military outpost in the most sensitive and strategic Himalayan enclave. This subtle anti-India move of Beijing has forced Pakistan to propose converting Gilgit Baltistan into the fifth province of Pakistan with a status at par with the other four provinces of Pakistan.
However, as Islamabad is mulling for this solution, nationalist forces in Gilgit Baltistan have forged a strong united opposition to any change of status. January All rights reserved.
