Earlier on Monday, Prime Minister Imran Khan, while discussing the nation regarding Kashmir, urged Pakistanis to stand with the citizens of the disputed territory on August 30 (Friday) from 12:00 to 12:30PM.

I have said this that I will act as Kashmir’s ambassador, said the premier and added that he would raise this issue at the UN as well.

Imran Khan said there was no need to be disappointed at the Muslim states not siding with Kashmir.

“I want to tell you not to be disappointed; if some countries are not raising this issue because of their economic interests, they will eventually take this issue up. They will have to, with time,” he observed.
