New York's Times Square lights up in solidarity with Kashmir
NEW YORK (Dunya News) - As the Indian siege of Kashmir is set to enter a second year, billboards at New York city s iconic Times Square lit up in solidarity with the eight million residents being held captive in the Himalayan valley.
Asad Khan, Pakistan s ambassador in the US, shared footage of the scenes in the heart of the big apple on his Twitter handle.
"Scenes at Times Square as Kashmiris mark a full year of their imprisonment on August 5. That is one full year of forced disappearances, torture, and a siege that has been intensified on the pretext of Covid-19. #LetKashmirSpeak #OneYearSiege", the caption of the post read.
The illegal actions of August 5 were aimed at ending the Muslim identity of the Kashmiri people in IIOJ&K. India is also divided on the steps taken on August 5, he said, reminding that the people of Kashmir rejected the move by India.
