The New York State Assembly marked February 5 as Kashmir Day
New York: The New York State Assembly marked February 5 as Kashmir Day by adopting a resolution by a voice vote. This significant development is the result of years of efforts by the American-Pakistani Advocacy Group (APAG). APAG is a non-profit social service and advocacy organization based in New York.
“The State of New York endeavours to champion human rights including the freedom of religion, movement, and expression for all Kashmiri people,” the resolution said. Hailing the resolution of the New York State Assembly, Pakistan’s Consul General in New York Ayesha Ali lauded assembly member Nader Sayegh and APAG for this “great work”.
