NY digital ads trucks beam Kashmir freedom messages

NEW YORK:

Digital mobile advertising trucks were deployed in New York City that called on the United Nations to fulfill its pledge to allow the people of Jammu and Kashmir to exercise their right to self-determination.

The campaign, organized by the World Kashmir Awareness Forum (WKAF) on Kashmir Black Day, reached hundreds of thousands of residents, particularly in the areas around the UN headquarters and the Times Square, amplifying the call for justice for the Kashmiri people who continue to suffer under brutal Indian occupation.

Organizers said the initiative was part of WKAF's broader campaign to remind the international community of its moral and legal responsibility under the United Nations Security Council resolutions, which guarantee the people of Jammu and Kashmir the right to decide their political future through a free and impartial plebiscite.

The flashing messages included: "End Indian Colonization of Kashmir"; "Hold India Accountable for War Crimes in Kashmir"; "India — Release all political prisoners unconditionally"; "India Involved in Genocide: Kashmiris Demand Plebiscite"; "Indian Forces on Killing Spree: Kashmir Need to Be Set Free"; "Kashmiris Reject Indian Occupation: UN Resolution only Solution"; "UN Resolutions Succinctly State: Kashmir is Not an Indian Protectorate", and "Stop Indian military & demographic terrorism in Kashmir."
