3,000 Pakis rally for end of Indian rule in Kashmir
MUZAFFARABAD, Pakistan - Several thousand people held rallies Sunday in Islamabad and the Pakistan-controlled portion of Kashmir to demand an end to Indian rule in the other part of the divided Kashmiri region. About 3,000 supporters of Jamaat-e-Islami, Pakistans largest Islamic group, rallied in Islamabad, Pakistans capital, chanting Allahu akbar, or God is great.
About 400 other Jamaat-e-Islami supporters demonstrated on a main street in Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistani Kashmir.
The rallies marked Kashmir Solidarity Day, when Pakistanis show support for Kashmirs independence from India.
Three thousand? Even A.N.S.W.E.R. does better than that. |
