No. Not rallies. Rally. The last one. In Sargodha. Anyone raising any voice against recent developments about Kashmir in India (as agreed in US) will be made an example by the establishment. https://t.co/V1S4p8oNv7

کشمیر کے موضوع پر عوامی جذبات زیادہ ہیں، فوری طور پر اہم اپوزیشن رہنماؤں کو گرفتار کر کے توجہ ہٹائی جا سکتی ہے۔ تاکہ گفت گو کشمیر پر کم زور حکومتی موقف سے ہٹ کر ایک نئے موضوع کی جانب نکل جائے اور کشمیر والا معاملہ ٹھنڈا ہو۔
