#EndTheSeige appears on the pages of New York Times on the very first day after the speech of prime minister Imran Khan at United Nations General Assembly and by the efforts of Humanity seekers on Twitter.
The Hashtag #EndTheSeige was trending on Twitter for a month. But nobody seemed to care much. People of Kashmir are under the seige for 55 days by the Indian military. Some raised the voice (mostly from Pakistan) but the western world and Human rights organisations stayed deaf.
The speech of Pakistani prime minister at UNGA became a first beat on the drum of world’s ears, in which prime minister Imran Khan urged the global leaders to intervene in Kashmir issue because he fears a Nuclear war between India and Pakistan if both countries cole face to face because of this issue.
A full page of New York Times Newspaper of September 29, was dedicated to raising the voice for Kashmir. An ad has been published on the New York Times to tell the American people what is a situation in Indian occupied Kashmir right now.
