Imran to hold Kashmir solidarity rally in Muzaffarabad tomorrow

Author: Agencies

Prime Minister Imran Khan has announced that he would hold a rally in Muzaffarabad at end of this week to send the world a message with regard to the curfew imposed in Indian-held Kashmir (IHK).

In a message posted on the social network platform Twitter, Imran Khan stated that the rally would aim at showing the world that the people of Pakistan stand in solidarity with the people of occupied territory.

“I am going to do a big jalsa in Muzaffarabad on September 13, to send a message to the world about the continuing siege of IOJK by Indian Occupation forces; & to show the Kashmiris that Pakistan stands resolutely with them,” the premier tweeted.

Imran is set to address the United Nations later this month to highlight Indian atrocities in the valley before world leaders. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the UN the same day.

Earlier this week, PM Imran had welcomed the growing concern from leaders and organisations around the world pertaining to India’s rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir.

In a Twitter post, he said he appreciated the calls by the international community, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCHR) “for India to lift its 6-week long siege of IOJK”

“The international community must not remain indifferent to the massive human rights abuses by occupation Indian forces under cover of a brutal siege,” the premier said.
