Rallies held as Pakistanis express solidarity with Kashmiris
22
ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Friday called for resolving the lingering issue of Kashmir in accordance with the resolutions of UN Security Council, saying the credibility of the global organisation will be at stake if it fails to implement its own decisions.
Nawaz Sharif spoke to lawmakers in Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistan's part of Kashmir, as the countrymen observed “Kashmir Day.” Pakistan observes the day by holding rallies and arranging seminars on the issue of Kashmir.
The Kashmir Solidarity Day is observed as a national event since 1990, when the late Qazi Hussain Ahmed, the then chairman of Jamaat-i-Islami, had given the call for observing solidarity with Kashmiris for the first time on Feb 5.
Various religious and political parties held rallies and demonstrations across the country voicing support for the struggle of Kashmiri people for their right to self-determination.
All the educational institutes and government organisations were closed as there was a country-wide public holiday.

It is good to pray and make human chains for photos. But who cares? Right in India there was no news about this. In the present world scenario, it is only a day dream that Kashmir can be liberated. Politicians are making fools of common people by selling such dreams.

When rallies were being held in solidarity with Kashmiris, Imran Khan was in Afghanistan. When Kashmiris were celebrating black day on republic day of India, Imran Khan was in Indian Embassy in Pakistan celebrating India's republic day. Shame on him!

The best way forward is to improve relationships, trade, cultural exchanges and Kashmir issue will be solved in due course of time. As Modi said, lets fight against poverty and not with each other! #Truewellwisher

Thanks Pakistan for supporting us, but we need more concrete vision and plan to liberate Kashmir from occupation, just raising this issue in international fora will achieve nothing as world has more pressing issues and nobody cares for what happens to Kashmiris or even if their is a nuclear war in south Asia, west and china will say good riddance.
