Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and across the world are observing Black Day today to send a message of rejecting India’s illegal occupation of their homeland.
It was on October 27, 1947, that Indian troops invaded Jammu and Kashmir in blatant violation of the Partition Plan and occupied the region against the will of the Kashmiri people.
The day is being marked by a complete shutdown in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Protest marches, rallies, and seminars will be held in Pakistan and across the globe.
In Azad Kashmir, protest marches, rallies, and seminars will also be held at all the Districts and Tehsil headquarters to condemn the Indian Army’s invasion on October 27, 1947, and the revocation of the special status of IIOJK by the BJP-led Hindutva government of India.
In the state capital Muzaffarabad, the Kashmir Liberation Commission has arranged a protest demonstration followed by a rally.
Similarly, Pasban-e-Hurriyat Jammu and Kashmir, Kashmiri Refugees, other Hurriyat organizations, and political and religious parties have arranged anti-India rallies and seminars to observe the Black Day.
President AJK Barrister Sultan Mahmood Chaudhry and Prime Minister Ch Anwarul Haq have appealed to Kashmiris all over the world to register their protest against India.
