He urged the community members to raise their voices in conveying their legislators to take note of the gross human rights violations committed by Indian forces in IoK. “While the Government of Pakistan and the Embassy is raising the issue of Kashmir at every possible forum, however, the most powerful and effective voice in this country would be that of Kashmiri and Pakistani-Americans,” he added.
