ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Federal Minister for Railways Sheikh Rashid on Friday has said that Indian Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi has committed a mistake by scrapping Article 370 that gave special status to the occupied Kashmir.
Addressing a rally in connection with ‘Kashmir Hour’ in Islamabad, the minister said Modi had thought that Kashmiri people are alone so he can do anything with this valley. He further stated that the nation will defend its country while standing with Pakistan Army. It is to be mentioned here people across the country observed ’Kashmir Hour’ from 12:00 PM to 12:30 PM today in the wake of India’s unprecedented lockdown, human rights’ violations and atrocities in the disputed Himalayan region.
Sirens were blared, the national anthems of Pakistan and Kashmir were played and traffic was also halted to mark the ‘Kashmir Hour’ as a comprehensive plan was formulated by all deputy commissioners of the country for staging demonstrations against Modi-led Hindu nationalist Indian government’s illegal actions in Kashmir.
The provincial chief ministers, the governments of Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan also organised the demonstrations in their respective areas.
