NEW YOR: A large number of New York’s yellow taxis displaying ‘Free Kashmir’ signs appeared on the streets and avenues of America’s most populous city as Kashmir Solidarity Day is being observed today across the world.
The distinctive demonstration of support for the struggling Kashmiris was sponsored by the Pakistani- and Kashmiri.
The taxis will continue to carry the free Kashmir sign for the next three days in New York. The signs atop the taxis also called for an end to the genocide, oppression and fascism in Indian occupied Kashmir which has been under a military lockdown since August 5.
“We stand with Kashmir”, proclaimed the signs as the taxis rolled around the crowded city streets, especially around the United Nations, the Indian Mission to the UN and the Consulate General.
A large number of taxis were also seen plying through New York’s iconic Times Square which is usually thronged by tourists from around the world.
Since the period the Indian forces made thousands of arrests of Kashmiris and their leaders as well as the blockade of all communications in the illegal occupation of the territory.
