The situation seems to be at a halt with nothing happening apart from Pakistanis protesting
KECH: I want to raise a question: are the strikes and protests against the Indian army the solution for the Kashmir issue? Surely not! If the shutter-down strikes and protests were the solution to any serious problems, then we would have already seen some international traction. The situation seems to be at a halt with nothing happening apart from Pakistani protest.
Burning tyres on roads, closing down shops, raising slogans against the Indian occupation forces in Pakistan, is not going to pressure India. So for that, we need to raise our voice at the UN and other such relevant organisations. We need to make the international community aware of the brutalities the Indian occupation forces are committing against the innocent Kashmiris. Shouting in Pakistan will not resolve the grave issue of Kashmir. If we really have love and affection for the Kashmiris, then we ought to write appropriate and informative articles like Imran Khan who wrote an article in The New York Times to make the other countries and organisations aware of the Kashmir issue. Besides this, we should urge influential countries to help resolve the Kashmir issue. Kashmiris have been undergoing Indian atrocities for long.
