Earlier this week, PM Imran Khan took to Twitter to issue a call for action towards the Kashmir issue in the form of an organized rally in Muzaffarabad. In response to his announcement, a number of celebrities have decided to lend their support as well.

Celebrities including Humayun Saeed, Maya Ali, Hareem Farooq, Javed Sheikh, Faakhir and Shahid Afridi have flown to Kashmir to attend the rally. Their presence is sure to bring more attention to the ongoing crisis, and if not anything more, mobilize the youth just a tad bit more to research about and raise their voice against the atrocities being carried out in Kashmir.
