PESHAWAR; Speaker, National Assembly Asad Qaiser has said that Pakistan will raise voice for Kashmir on all forums including diplomatic and political platforms adding that Narindara Modi has not abolished the Article 370 of the Indian Constitution to abolish the special status of Kashmir rather signed the warrant of his own destruction.
