Pakistan boy schools Imran Khan, says 'focus on economy, not Kashmir'
The Pakistani kid showed the mirror to Imran Khan, saying that the world would not advocate Pakistan's stance on Kashmir, by affecting relationships with India.
In a major turn of events, a Pakistani boy has opined on his Prime Minister Imran Khan's stance on the Kashmir issue. In a video that has gone viral across the social media, the Pakistani boy can be seen opining on the current relationship between India and Pakistan in the aftermath of abrogation of Article 370. Pakistan has been consistently disagreeing with the Indian government's move to revoke Article 370 from J&K. On being questioned by a reporter over the 'Kashmir Hour' called by Imran Khan government, the young boy stated that India has an influence on the world through its economy and Pakistan does not stand equal to India in terms of the economy. He further asserted that Kashmir issue cannot be solved till the time Pakistan improve its economy to defeat India's. The Pakistani kid showed the mirror to Pakistan, saying that the world would not advocate Pakistan's stance on Kashmir, by affecting their relationships with India. He suggested Imran Khan government to first prioritise the growth and development of Pakistan over other issues.
"Pakistan and people of Kashmir have to recognise one thing, with India, there are trade compulsions from across the world. India has influenced the whole world with its trade. Indian lobby is taking the entire world along with it. Till the time, Pakistan stands parallel to India economically, we (Pakistan) cannot make our issues stand parallel to theirs (India). Till the time Pakistan defeats them (India) economically, I don't think Kashmir issue will be solved. The world will never advocate for Pakistan at the cost of affecting their relationship with India. It would be better to focus on our (Pakistan) economy which will eventually solve all the issues including Kashmir, Balochistan and FATA (Federally Administered Tribal Area). Our first priority should be the progress of Pakistan," the young boy said in the viral video.

Imran Khan's protest fails
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan faced massive embarrassment on Friday after his attempts to ask his countrymen to stand up in the name of 'solidarity to Kashmir' miserably failed. On Friday, people expressed agitation against the Imran Khan government after roads were blocked and people were forced to stop at the barricades. In the video below, people can be seen forced to wait as a security person can be seen guiding the blocked road. Furthermore, a man was heard saying: 'What's the use of blocking roads, Modi will fly'.
Debt-Ridden Pakistan observed the 'Kashmir Solidarity Hour' on Friday from 12 pm to 12:30 pm on Friday. Addressing a press briefing, Imran Khan said that he will become the "ambassador" for all Kashmiris in the wake of India's decision to abrogate Article 370 that granted special status to J&K.
