Islamabad: Pakistan is all set to hold protests against the abrogation of Article 370 and express solidarity with "Kashmiri brethren" on Friday between 12 to 12:30 pm.

Making the announcement at a meeting of the Parliamentary Committee on Kashmir, Pakistan's National Assembly Speaker Fakhar Imam said that on the suggestion of the country's parliament, a protest will be held each Friday on 12 pm across Pakistan.

Pakistani Railway Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad said all the trains in the country will stop for one minute today.

Meanwhile, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor declared that to observe 'Kashmir Hour' the national anthems of Pakistan and Kashmir will be played at noon on Friday.

Earlier this week, during a televised address Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan had announced that to show solidarity with the Kashmiri people an event will be held every week starting August 30 between 12 pm and 12:30 pm (local time).

"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," ANI quoted Imran Khan as saying.

Khan's statement comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his meeting with US President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the G-7 summit in France, reiterated that Kashmir was India’s internal matter.

To internationalise the Kashmir issue, Pakistan has been reaching out to the world community but so far it has not received any support apart from China. India, on the other hand, has received support from the US, France and Russia including Britain.

Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has written letters to the United Nations to brief the world body about the situation in Jammu and Kashmir.

He further said that recently held discussion on Kashmir at the UN Security Council was a great achievement of Pakistan and added that it was held despite repeated efforts made by India to stop it.

At Pakistan’s behest, China called for a closed-door meeting at the UNSC. However, the UNSC members said that they expect both the countries to sort out their differences through bilateral talks.

Rattled by India’s historic decision to revoke Article 370, Islamabad downgraded bilateral relations with New Delhi India apart from suspending bilateral trade, Samjhauta and Thar Express trains.

India has repeatedly maintained that the decision taken in J&K is entirely an internal affair and advised Pakistan to accept reality and stop interfering in internal affairs of other countries.
