He said he has apprised the world leaders, foreign media and human rights organisations that RSS mindset will impact the whole world if they kept mum on the Indian atrocities in the occupied valley. He said the world must realise that any war between two nuclear powers will not merely impact the subcontinent but the entire world.

“I am proud of our people in the way they came out on Friday in solidarity with the people of Kashmir – letting them know our nation stands resolutely with them as they confront the brutal, fascist Modi government’s annexation and ethnic cleansing agenda in Indian Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IOJK),” the prime minister said in his Twitter message. He said the Pakistani nation has also let the world know about the Nazi-style takeover of India by the RSS-BJP’s Hindu supremacist ideology and the danger it poses not only to the region but the world.
Large gatherings were held in every city, town and village and was participated by people from across the social and religious divide.
Waving flags of Pakistan and Azad Kashmir, the emotionally charged crowds across the country raised slogans of ‘Kashmir banney ga Pakistan’ and expressed resolve to stand by their oppressed Kashmiri brethren till they get their right of self-determination.
Road traffic stopped at key junctions and the people stood in silence to condemn the gruesome brutalities, being inflicted upon the unarmed civilians in the occupied valley by the occupation forces of India, in pursuance of the racist policy and ideology of the extremist Hindu organisation RSS and the BJP.
Special prayers were offered at Jumma congregations for liberation of Kashmir as miseries of its people are increasing with each passing day since August 5.
