“This week in the Assembly, I was proud to introduce a resolution calling on Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim February 5th, 2021 as Kashmir American Day in New York State. This Resolution, which passed unanimously, makes New York the first state to proclaim a Kashmir American Day, to acknowledge the challenges and struggles of the people of Kashmir and the support they receive in this country from organizations including the American Pakistani Advocacy Group, led by my friend and their president Ali Rashid. I presented Ali and members of the groups board of directors with the official proclamation Friday in Yonkers.”
