i say no, because isleya Pakistan nahi baneya gayea tha. or atleast the entire premisis of observing the struggle that many kashmir went through cant be achieved by sitting at home.
in Fact we cant even afford these vacations. Pakistan’s economy is already very behind we have to struggle a lot.
besides uncalled strikes already ruining pakistani economy. what ya guys say?

Kashmir Day is today, and people all over Pakistan are trying to figure out what to do with their Thursday. Nobody quite knows what they're supposed to do on Kashmir Day other than sleep late, eat halwa puri, and maybe watch a few Indian movies.***
But you have to read the whole article to get the full context .. although I love this statement of the writer. Its so true in spite of being so politically incorrect
Most Pakistani citizens have more than enough problems on their plate to really care about Kashmir. I mean this in the most non-offensive way possible.
