In pictures: Pakistanis come together to mark Kashmir Solidarity Day with rallies, marches
Thousands of people from all walks of life took part in anti-India rallies across the country.
Pakistan's political and military leadership on Friday marked the annual Kashmir Solidarity Day, vowing to continue political support for those living in Indian-occupied Kashmir and for a solution to the disputed region's status in accordance with UN resolutions.
Thousands of people from all walks of life took part in anti-India rallies across the country, as well as in Azad Kashmir.
Students, social workers, politicians and members of civil society carried Kashmir flags and placards with slogans decrying Indian atrocities in occupied Kashmir, especially since August 2019 when New Delhi revoked the region's special status.
Prime Minister Imran Khan reiterated support for the Kashmiri cause at a public meeting in Kotli, while the opposition Pakistan Democratic Movement leaders delivered speeches in Muzaffarabad, the capital of AJK.

India must realise by now that they have a East Timor on their hands. If I was India I would engage with Kashmiris and win their hearts to stay with India otherwise risk losing it. I think Biden will step in at some point.

Better be worried about crumbling internal issues. You are answerable to the coming generations for miserable failures. In nutshell kashmir is a dead cause, only good to consolidate votes

Let it go. We cannot take care of whatever is left of Pakistan, why are we worried about IOK? Make Pakistan great first and then we should worry about Kashmir.

If you put the energy in making an honorable and fair compromise with India on Kashmir and move on; you would be doing the Pakistani people a great deal of good.
