Pakistani celebrities took to Twitter to express concern over situation in Indian-occupied Kashmir (IoK) and expressed solidarity with the people of the valley.
India has imposed a curfew for an indefinite period in IoK and suspended internet service. The Indian authorities have banned movement of public and closed all educational institutions.
After actor Hamza Ali Abbasi appealed to all Pakistani artists to raise their voice for Kashmir, many ace celebrities spoke about the grave human rights violation in IoK and showed solidarity towards everyone affected by the situation.
UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Mahira Khan said “Heaven is burning and we silently weep.”
Have we conveniently blocked what we don’t want to address? This is beyond lines drawn on sand, it’s about innocent lives being lost! Heaven is burning and we silently weep. #Istandwithkashmir #kashmirbleeds
