The Special Assistant said a large number of people gathered at the airport to pay rich tribute to Imran Khan’s efforts in highlighting Kashmir issue and sensitizing the world community on Islamophobia, during his speech at the UN General Assembly last Friday.

She said a convergence of a large number of people to accord grand reception to their beloved leader indicates that they are happy over Prime Minister inspiring speech at the world forum. She said the Prime Minister represented the oppressed people across the world, including Kashmiris. She said Imran Khan also portrayed the real face of Islam.

Without naming JUI-F’s proposed Azadi March, Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan said they should work for the freedom of Kashmiris rather than protesting against the government.
