Islamabad, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 6th Dec, 2021 ) :Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Kashmir Shehryar Khan Afridi Monday said that the Kashmir story needs to be told to the world through innovative ways and Kashmir Committee would work with Turkish and Pakistani artistes to project the case of Kashmir.
Shehryar Khan Afridi expressed these views while speaking to eminent rights activist and author Turgay Evren here at the Parliament House.
Eminent Kashmiri leader Altaf Bhat and APHC representative Khadim Hussain were also present on the occasion.
Shehryar Afridi said that Prime Minister Imran Khan said that Kashmir is core of Pakistan's foreign policy and all avenues would be explored to project the case of Kashmir.

"Every Pakistani is in love with Turkey and its people. Every Pakistani household loves Turkey and its people," said Afridi, adding that this bond between Turkey and Pakistanis dates back to pre partition when Muslims of the subcontinent had waged a campaign named Khilafat Movement.
