Kashmiris are observing a black day across the world today (Friday) on the 76th anniversary of their homeland being illegally occupied on October 27, 1947, by India.
This was the day when newly separated Indian forces entered the region of Jammu and Kashmir, violating the spirit of independence and the decision that had led Kashmiris to unite with Pakistan.
The illegal invasion resulted in the partition of Kashmir, with over half of the valley’s area being captured by Indian forces. This incident has been marked as the “black day” and has been observed for 76 years.
Protest, marches, rallies, and seminars have been held nationwide, where speakers shed light on the problems faced by the citizens living in Indian-occupied Kashmir.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also expressed solidarity with Indian-occupied Kashmir in a statement on on social media.
“Pakistan stands in solidarity with its Kashmiri brothers and sisters and supports their right to self-determination,” MoFA said.
On this occasion, the interim prime minister demanded an end to the unilateral and illegal actions taken on August 5, 2019.
Anwaar ul Haq Kakar also called for the reversal of India’s revocation of Kashmir’s special status in 2019 and said the UN resolutions on Kashmir must be implemented.
