Kashmir under Siege

Its been five weeks since the valley known for its natural beauty is under lockdown. With the curfew imposed in disputed state and communication blockade, people are living in terror, with no food and medicines. Till today 10,000 Kashmiris have been arrested by brutal Indian forces. Prominent Hurriyat leaders are under house arrest even local political leaders that once remain strong voice of India spoke against the unabated curfew. Once again two nuclear states are at the verge of war for the second time and for the same cause- Kashmir. Fascist Modi revokes article 370 and 35 A scraping valley of its special status. Indian Government unilaterally abrogated special status of Kashmir which is a bilateral issue. Neither Pakistan nor people of Kashmir have accepted the illegal revocation. Modi Government didn't expect a befitting and sustained response from its two stakeholders. Resilient people of Kashmir show the world their voice cant be silenced this way. Pakistan stands with Kashmir and engaged world leaders to act against the oppression of Kashmiris. Pakistan under the leadership of Imran Khan successfully internationalizes Kashmir dispute. With the effective foreign policy, Pakistan made the world to react against the human rights violation in the region. Govt intends to make a separate cell for Kashmir in all embassies. For the first time, world is listening to Pakistan. After 50 years, big Five scratch their heads at Security Council Meeting over Kashmir issue. Though outcomes of the meeting are debatable, still it was Win situation for Pakistan as it managed to hold SC meeting after decades. Pakistan continues its efforts and with every passing day it aims to keep on highlighting the atrocities of Indian forces in Kashmir.

PM has effectively engaged prominent world leaders in his outreach program and warns the world of the Nuclear War due to ongoing crisis. Even in G7 Summit, Kashmir issue was on the table. President of USA and France both discussed situation with Modi at sidelines of the summit.

PM in his attempt to do justice with being self-nominated as Ambassador of Kashmir announce to observe Kashmir Hour every Friday to show solidarity with people of Kashmir. For the first time in the history of Pakistan, doors of PM secretariat opened and PM addressed the nation. Pakistanis in Thousands thronged the streets all across Pakistan in support of Kashmir. Not in Pakistan but in every corner of the world outside the Embassies, in the forums at every available platform efforts are underway to show the real face of Modi Government to the world.

A large no of people were present to hear Prime Minister Imran Khan at the PM Office.

On Regular basis voice to hear plight of Kashmiri people is coming from not only Pakistan but from international community as well. From making telephone calls to head of states to the use of social media as a tool by writing in New York Times the most influenced Newspaper in US, PM hopes not to leave any stone unturned.

There is a lot to be done for Kashmir from Pakistan Side and even from the international community. let us hope peace prevails in the region and Kashmiris sees the dawn of freedom. There is no doubt that Pakistan will continue its moral, legal and political support for Kashmir.
