Pakistanis have responded brilliantly to Prime Minister, Imran Khan’s call to show solidarity with Kashmiris on Friday. The Kashmir Hour, which began at 12 pm today, saw hundreds of thousands of Pakistanis from all walks of life turn up in numbers to demonstrate their love for Kashmir.
People in all the big cities of Pakistan came out with Kashmiri flags and banners, chanting slogans of Kashmir banay ga Pakistan to record their protest against the abrogation of Article 370.
Earlier, Imran Khan had urged the nation to come out for Kashmir on Friday. People from corporate offices, telcos, businesses, and students dedicated their time to gather for the cause to show the Kashmiri brothers and sisters that they are not alone in their fight against Indian oppression.
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 tomorrow stop whatever you are doing & come out on the road to show solidarity with the Kashmiri people.

PM Khan had promised to be Kashmir’s ambassador to the world and that he will highlight the injustice being done in Kashmir at all forums across the globe.
Pakistani Telecom Operator, Ufone, also observed the Kashmir Hour to express their harmony with Kashmiris. On this occasion, the National Anthem of Pakistan and AJK were played at Ufone Tower. After the anthems, employees headed onto the road and stood in front of Ufone Tower in Islamabad to pay tribute to the brave people of Kashmir, acknowledging the hardships and trials of the innocent citizens.
Not just this, the social media is full of messages of love for the Kashmiri brethren in the heavenly valley who are at the mercy of brutal Indian forces.

Get out for #KashmirHour. Because the only people allowed out on the streets in Indian Occupied Kashmir, hold captive 8 million Kashmiri Muslims through the barrel of a gun. pic.twitter.com/53FcJv47Q7

Will it make a difference? Let us know in the comments section.
Will it make a difference? NO. Kashmir does not need solidarity. If things are to be believed, Imran Khan has sold Kashmir through a secret deal with US.
Now we have a fake Abdul Wahab :)
neither were you making a difference by sitting on your ass while the whole nation was in protest, at least have courage to protest on wrong doings else stay silent forever….
It is a nice thing to show solidarity to the Kashmir, but what I’m seeing here is a nice ploy to hide the incompetency of the government and the failure of the policies on every front . Give the public a reason to forget what their real issues are and chant slogans for a cause, that’s plagued the country for 70 yrs.
Kashmir bane ga Pakistan? I thought our official position was to hold a referendum and let the people decide for themselves. Do the people chanting these slogans not know this?
70 Saal hai WE STAND : But No One Care : It’s time to take Next Step “War”
