Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday called on all Pakistanis to rally in to participate in Kashmir Hour, which will be observed on Friday from 12 noon to 12:30 to show the Kashmiris that Pakistani nation stands in solidarity with them.
He took to Twitter and made an announcement with a series of tweets:
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.

The prime minister urged the nation to stop their daily chores and come out on the roads for half an hour.
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.
— Imran Khan (@ImranKhanPTI) August 29, 2019
