The Prime Minister’s address effectively highlighted the tensions between India and Pakistan, which escalated after India revoked the special status granted to Jammu and Kashmir by abrogating Article 370 of the Constitution, she added. She also commended the Prime Minister’s commitment to Pakistan’s unwavering moral, diplomatic and political support to the Kashmir Cause.
