Speaking to media at an event of forming of chains with human hands to express solidarity with the people of Occupied Kashmir, she said Pakistan would raise voice for the Kashmiris at every forum of the world.

Today people from all walks of life including women, children, elderly and youth formed a chain to express solidarity with Kashmiris, she added.
