raising voice

One of the six plaintiffs said he does not expect the government to act immediately and he will keep raising voice to achieve equality.

"I was banned twice in the past. Lost jobs twice. Survived assassination attempts but cannot stop raising voice for the rights given in the constitution," said Mir, who hosts one of the country's highest-rated political talk shows on Geo News, part of the country's largest media group.

Terming the ban "archaic", the main opposition National Conference party accused the government of meting out "collective punishment to the people of Kashmir for expressing their political aspiration and raising voice against gross human rights excesses".

Founded in 2015 by businessman Shalli Kumar, the RHC claims to provide "a single, unified platform for raising voice of Hindu Americans in public policy."
