Given below is an article in jumbled form, marked

P, Q, R, S. Arrange the jumbled parts, between A and B, to make it sensibly readable.

A: At the all-party conference in New Delhi, and later in his August 15 Independence Day address to the nation, the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, referred to the people of Gilgit-Baltistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). On both occasions, Modi also talked about human rights violations in Pakistan-occupied Balochistan. His statement came a day after Pakistan's Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, dedicated his country's Independence Day celebrations to the freedom of

Kashmir from Indian rule.

P: Pakistan has responded to India's approach with staged demonstrations in Gilgit-Baltistan and Balochistan condemning Modi. In Skardu, teachers brought students as young as six-year-old to the streets to raise anti-India slogans, which points to state indoctrination against the neighbouring country. One government official, Shams Mir, while addressing a rally in Gilgit, vowed to turn the protesting children into suicide bombers against India.

Q: Pakistani media might not agree with this assessment, but the majority of the people of Gilgit-Baltistan would expect their elected representatives to expose the culprits in the Pakistani government and military who incarcerate their youth for demanding rights, loot their natural resources, encroach upon their private lands to build the China-led economic corridor (CPEC), hurt local cultural identity and national character through a policy of assimilation and block our trade routes towards Ladakh to impose economic isolation and dependence. Such policies only expose the double standards of Pakistan's rulers who routinely advocate better trade relations with India through Punjab.

R: PM Modi's statement was well-received by Indian political parties including the Indian National Congress. The current Bangladesh government and former Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai supported the statement, causing concern in Pakistan's leadership circles. On Thursday, August 19, India announced a five-point agenda to resume talks with Pakistan, one of which proposes a discussion on the vacation of Pakistan's illegal occupation of Gilgit-Baltistan and PoK.

S: Instead of building colleges and universities in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan's establish-ment keeps the region's students ignorant by spreading myths and uses them as foot soldiers against India, USA and Afghanistan. While Pakistani occupiers expect the people of Gilgit-Baltistan to spew venom against India, they shamelessly block basic constitutional rights enjoyed by the people of Ladakh, Kashmir and Jammu to the locals.

B: The fact that the Indian Constitution recognises the people of Gilgit-Baltistan as its citizens is often lost in the continuing stalemate in Kashmir. The statement of PM Modi is in keeping with his constitutional duty as head of the government and provides a fresh opportunity to resolve a conflict that is holding back the entire region.
