"I want all Pakistanis to come out tomorrow (Friday) 12:00 noon-12:30pm to show solidarity with the Kashmiri people and send the Kashmiris in Indian-Occupied Kashmir a clear message that the entire Pakistani nation stands in solidarity with them and against Indian fascist oppression, the inhumane 24-day curfew, the daily injuring and killing of Kashmiri civilians, including women & children — all part of the ethnic cleansing agenda of the Modi government and its illegal annexation of IOK," said the prime minister via Twitter.

The plan to change demography of IHK is a war crime under 4th Geneva Convention. "We must send a strong message to Kashmiris that our nation stands resolutely behind them. So I am asking all Pakistanis for half an hour tomorrow (Friday), stop whatever you are doing and come out on the roads to show solidarity with the Kashmiri people," he urged.
