Mogadishu-KNN-Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan is set to visit Pakistan-administered Kashmir, as he reiterated his support to the Kashmiri people living in the Indian-administered part of the divided region.
Khan’s visit to Muzzaffarad, the capital of Pakistan-administered Kashmir, to mark the country’s Independence Day comes more than a week after New Delhi’s decision to downgrade Kashmir’s status.
Pakistan is observing its 72nd independence day in solidarity with the people of Kashmir this year.
Khan is expected to make a speech in the Legislative Assembly to denounce Indian human rights violations in Kashmir.
The Indian government has revoked the special status of Indian-administered Kashmir in its constitution, the most far-reaching political move on the disputed region in nearly 70 years.
The Pakistani government asked the United Nations Security Council to meet over India’s decision to revoke the special status of Jammu and Kashmir.
