Hours after the Centre abrogated Article 370 of the Constitution that granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir and prohibited citizens from rest of the country from acquiring property there, former pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi hit out at the United Nations for its muteness and asked the President of the United States, Donald Trump to get involved.
"Kashmiris must be given their due rights as per #UN resolution. The rights of Freedom like all of us. Why was @UN created & why is it sleeping? The unprovoked aggression & crimes being committed in Kashmir against #Humanity must be noted. The @POTUS must play his role to mediate," Afridi said.
As soon as the Home Minister Amit Shah put forward the resolution in the upper house of the parliament, Prasident Ram Nath Kovind came out with a notification, The Constitutio (Application to Jammu and Kashmir) order, 2019 that immediately came into effect.
