On the directives of the prime minister, it has been decided that a big rally would be staged in Islamabad over the recent developments in Jammu and Kashmir. Khan’s visit to occupied-Kashmir comes in the backdrop of the Indian government’s decision to revoke Article 370 of the Constitution that accorded special status to Jammu and Kashmir. India’s historic move rattled Pakistan which followingly undertook a series of decisions, including downgrading bilateral relations with India and suspending bilateral trade, halting Samjhauta and Thar Express trains from its side and banning Indian movies in Pakistani cinemas.
