"They (India) have played their trump card, they don't have any card to play now. Now whatever needs to be done will be done by us and the world," Imran Khan had said.
Ghafoor appealed to the youth, particularly students, to take part in the Friday initiative. Pakistani national heroes, people from the entertainment industry, and media representatives would be among those showing solidarity with Kashmiris, he said.
Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Information Firdous Ashiq Awan said that Pakistan will give a "strong message to the world by expressing solidarity with the people of occupied Kashmir on Friday".
She said that people will come out at noon and stand for three minutes to express solidarity with Kashmiris.
In a tweet, Firdous shared a detailed programme on the observance, according to which traffic will be halted for half an hour. If the Parliament is in session, a gathering will be held outside the PM Office on Constitution Avenue; the main spots for the protest will be identified in all districts; deputy commissioners will coordinate the plans; and public representatives will observe protests in their respective constituencies.
Addressing an event at a school, Firdous said Prime Minister Imran Khan will lead the demonstration in front of the PM Office and the provincial chief ministers and the governments of Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan will also lead demonstrations in their respective areas. She said that the PM will also address the gathering.
