Traders in PoK stage protest against new taxes by Pak govt
Traders in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir's Gilgit-Baltistan region protested against the new taxes levied by the Pakistan government. Terming the taxes as unfair and unjust, the traders have gone on an indefinite strike against the taxation regime. Protestors claimed Islamabad had no right to impose taxes, as Pakistan's Supreme Court has declared the region as disputed territory.
