Prime Minister Imran Khan has asked all Pakistanis to come out on Friday - at 12 to 12.30 Hrs - to show solidarity with the Kashmiri people. This gesture will send the Kashmiris in Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK) a clear message that the entire Pakistani nation stands in solidarity with them. "Pakistani nation will clearly send a message against Indian fascist oppression, the inhumane 24-day curfew, the daily injuring and killing of Kashmiri civilians, including women & children - all part of ethnic cleansing agenda of the Modi Government & its illegal annexation of IOK,) the Prime Minister said in his twitter message.

He said the plan to change demography of IOK was a war crime under fourth Geneva Convention. "We must send a strong message to Kashmiris that our nation stands resolutely behind them. So I am asking all Pakistanis for half an hour today (Friday) stop whatever you are doing & come out on the road to show solidarity with the Kashmiri people," the prime minister said.-APP
