After a 'Free Kashmir' placard was spotted at the protests in Mumbai on Tuesday, Pakistan Army spokesperson Asif Ghafoor took to Twitter and picked up the Kashmir issue again.
Ghafoor, who is the Director-General for Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Public Relations, took this opportunity to drive social media attention towards Pakistan's Kashmir propaganda. Ghafoor made pointless remarks like it is the "Begining of the End" and claimed that "Kashmir is Pakistan." Ironic enough, his Twitter handle says 'peace for change'.
