PESHAWAR, Pakistan: Thousands of people held solidarity rallies in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) on Friday in support of their Kashmiri brethren, who have been under India’s vicious and barbaric rule since decades but now are forced to endure even more inhuman behaviour of the usurper.
The rallies were taken out in various parts of the province including in Peshawar, Bannu, Haripur, Chitral, and Jehangira.
The Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Mehmood Khan along the Provincial Cabinet Members led the Central Kashmir Solidarity Rally which began from Civil Secretariat in Peshawar.
The participants of the rally were holding Pakistani and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) flags and banners which read “We Stand with Kashmir”, “Solidarity with the People of Kashmir”, “Kashmir Hun”, and “Kashmir is Pakistan’s jugular vein”.
The Chief Minister KPK Mehmood Khan and Provincial Ministers also addressed the rally participants, and pledged their profound support to Kashmiri people.
