Kashmir Day was first proposed by Qazi Hussain Ahmad of the Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan in 1990. In 1991, the then-Prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif called for a "Kashmir Solidarity Day Strike"; Sharif had come to power with the help of the Jamaat in the previous year, and the 1991 event was also a Jamaat affair.
