ISLAMABAD: ‘Kashmir Hour’ was observed between 12pm to 12:30pm throughout the country and the national anthems of Pakistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) were played in a show of solidarity with the oppressed Kashmiris.
All people and traffic stood still with chants of ‘Kashmir Banega Pakistan’.
Addressing the rally outside the PM Secretariat, Prime Minister Imran Khan said all Pakistanis stood with Kashmiris. “Our Kashmiris are going through a difficult phase. Approximately 8 million Kashmiris for the last four weeks have been locked under curfew.”
He added that the purpose of today was to send a message from Pakistan that until Kashmiris get their freedom we would continue to stand with them. “We will stand with them till the last breath.”
The prime minister said it was important to understand the type of government in India which was oppressing people. “We need to understand the ideology of the RSS. This was a party which was motivated by hatred for Muslims.” Pakistan and AJK flags were distributed among the public.
