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,

the daily injuring & killing of Kashmiri civilians, incl women & children – all part of the ethnic cleansing agenda of the Modi Govt. & it's illegal annexation of IOK. The plan to change demography of IOK is a war crime under 4th Geneva Convention.

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.

Since his posts, there was an overwhelming flux of Pakistanis taking to the streets to peacefully protest against the harsh conditions faced by Indian Kashmiris that is now trending on Twitter by the name of #KashmirHour. All over Pakistan, in Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi, roads have been blocked by protesters to show Kashmiris that “they are not alone against Modi’s facism.” According to Radio Pakistan, special prayers will be offered for the Kashmiris after the Friday prayers.
#KashmirHour trending worldwide. Images of peaceful protests across Pakistan. A message of solidity. And PM IK who is not treating Kashmir as a territorial claim; rather speaking for the freedom of the people of Kashmir according to their own wishes and what they want. Wow.

Historic scenes from PM secretariat. It takes a leader to unite a nation; & today Pakistan stands united, in solidarity with Kashmir. A leader who is not fighting for territory, rather an ambassador for the freedom of the Kashmiris from Modi’s Nazi like brute force.#KashmirHour pic.twitter.com/0hLAms5I7m

No matter what anyone says, I'm happy ppl went out to show solidarity with besieged Kashmiris. These grandmothers, a few of them Kashmiris themselves, led the way at Lalik Chowk (got photo from my boss). Sincerity of emotions is always better than hollow cynicism. #KashmirHour pic.twitter.com/OWPTkv28nt
