Pakistani celebrities to come out in 'Kashmir Hour' to express solidarity

PM Imran urged all to give a clear message to the Kashmiris that entire Pakistan stands with them.

LAHORE (Dunya News) - Prime Minister Imran Khan Thursday reiterated that he wants all Pakistanis to come out tomorrow from 12:00 PM to 12:30 PM to show solidarity with the people of India-occupied Kashmir (IoK) and many Pakistani celebrities showed support by making videos and posting all over the internet. 

Imran Khan urged all to give a clear message to the Kashmiris that the entire Pakistani nation stands with them and against Indian fascist oppression, the inhumane 24-day curfew, the daily injuring and killing of Kashmiri civilians including women and children – all part of the ethnic cleansing agenda of the Modi-government and its illegal annexation of IOK. 

I want all Pakistanis to come out tomorrow 12 noon -12.30 pm to show solidarity with the Kashmiri people and send the Kashmiris in IOK a clear message that the entire Pakistani nation stands in solidarity with them & against Indian fascist oppression, the inhumane 24-day curfew,

“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,” he concluded.

Many celebrities made videos expressing full support to their Kashmiri brothers and sisters whereas others took on to Facebook, Instagram and Twitter expressing solidarity with the occupied Kashmir.

Many called for to come out at Mall road and join them in the rally to play their part for the IoK along with Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar who expressed that whole nation will take to streets to show solidarity with Kashmiris, as Pakistan cannot remain silent on Indian cruelties being committed by Indian forces in held Kashmir.

Responding to the PM’s call for action, Pakistani celebrities have enthusiastically announced complete support. From Hareem Farooq to Adnan Siddiqui, Humayun Saeed to Shehzad Roy, Pakistani celebrities have all vowed to come outside and stand tall and brave for their Kashmiri brothers.
