Arif Alvi said all the political parties in Pakistan are on the same page vis-a-vis Kashmir dispute and they will always stand by their Kashmiri brethern.

The President demanded India to immediately release all the political prisoners and abolish the black laws.

He said India should lift restrictions on the media and internet in the occupied valley so that the Kashmiri people could exercise their right to expression.
