Kashmiris are enslaved in their own homes & fascist Modi is using every tactic to ensure that their voice does not reach the world. Here is a loud & clear message to India that 220 million Pakistanis will be the voice of Kashmiris & fight for them at every forum.#KashmirHour pic.twitter.com/Cb2pCmeQ2x
