With the situation in Indian occupied Kashmir (IoK) worsening as the valley remains under lockdown for 53 days, the ordeal of Kashmiris has been highlighted at Times Square in New York City.
All eyes are on New York where dozens of global leaders have gathered for the 74th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
With Pakistan, especially Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan, continuing to voice concerns over Indian occupying forces’ brutalities against innocent Kashmiris and Narendra Modi-led government’s move to rob the held valley of its autonomy, a movement to express solidarity with Kashmiris has taken the world by storm.
“With the extraordinary efforts of PM Imran Khan, Kashmir issue has now become a Global concern. The voice of people of IOJ&K is once again being heard in the highest diplomatic forums. ‘Stand With Kashmir’ has been highlighted in Times Square New York, today [sic],” government of Pakistan tweeted Thursday.
Earlier, protests marred Modi and United States (US) President Donald Trump’s rally in Houston, Texas, where members of Pakistani and Indian minority communities gathered to raise their voice for the Kashmir cause.
The “anti-Modi demonstration” outside the “Howdy, Modi” event venue, called attention to the “racist Modi regime” and its ongoing human rights violations in India-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
