New York has become the first state in the United States to proclaim February 5 as Kashmir Day.

The New York State Assembly marked February 5 as Kashmir Day by adopting a resolution by a voice vote. This significant development is the result of years of efforts by the American-Pakistani Advocacy Group (APAG). APAG is a non-profit social service and advocacy organization based in New York.

"The State of New York endeavours to champion human rights including the freedom of religion, movement, and expression for all Kashmiri people,” the resolution said. Hailing the resolution of the New York State Assembly, Pakistan's Consul General in New York Ayesha Ali lauded assembly member Nader Sayegh and APAG for this "great work".
On February 5, Pakistani and Kashmiri communities across US observed Kashmir Solidarity Day, voicing full support to the just struggle of Kashmiri people in Illegally Indian-Occupied Kashmir.

In his address in Kotli, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Prime Minister Imran Khan assured the Kashmiris that not only the Pakistani nation but also the entire Muslim world stood behind them. "Even the non-Muslims who believe in justice and human rights also realize that the Kashmiris should be given the right pledged to them by the United Nations,” the PM said.

The PM added that he again suggests India resolve the issue through meaningful dialogue as there is no other way. He called on India to restore the autonomy of the occupied territory.

Yes, hats-off to Pakistani-American community. Hopefully more to follow :tup:
One day the west will have to look beyond the fake Indian propaganda or a potential market of billion people and stand for what is right and differentiate the wrong, otherwise their dwindling reputation will further do down the drain in no time.
 
Excellent.


Pakistan's victory. India's failure who use to say Kashmir is our internal matter, looks like no more.


Thank you Modi G. I hope you win another turn of premiership.

Nope, not at all. NY is a super liberal state, not unexpected for them to take up left wing causes such as Kashmir, Palestine and make symbolic gestures acknowledging those things.

Biden and Kamala themselves may drop a platitude or two about Kashmir to keep a certain section of their electorate happy. In the end it doesn't mean much and does not affect any change on the ground.

India is the new Israel.

Exactly. This is the kind of soft power Pakistan has lacked for decades. I don't know of a time when our narrative on Kashmir was also in focus.
