Kashmirs on both sides of Line of Control (LoC) were observing the black day on Tuesday (Oct 27) with the firm resolve to continue their just struggle for the settlement of Kashmir dispute through a free and fair plebiscite in accordance with the resolutions of United Nations, said Spokesman All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) (Jammu and Kashmir Chapter) Abdul Hameed Lone.
Talking to media, he said over 500,000 Kashmiris have so far sacrificed their lives against the brutal Indian operation but the morale of Kashmiris was still high despite brutalities. The main aim of observing Black Day was to convey to the world that India has occupied their motherland illegally and against their aspirations.
On that day, India had occupied Kashmir by sending its troops in Srinagar illegally and unconstitutionally, he said adding that Kashmiris and human rights organisations would hold protest demonstrations and rallies across the country on Tuesday – demanding that the issue of Jammu and Kashmir should be resolved in accordance with the resolutions of United Nations.
Indian occupied forces have suspended Internet services in the IIOJK, he said adding that Kashmiris welcome the support of Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan. Protest marches, rallies and seminars were being held in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan and all across the world to condemn the invasion of the territory by Indian Army on October, 27, 1947.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly chaired by Deputy Speaker, Mehmood Jan Tuesday unanimously passed a resolution condemning the brutalities and atrocities committed by Indian forces in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). The resolution tabled by Naeema Kishwar of Muttahida Majils-e- Amal said that brutalities and atrocities being committed by occupying forces in IIOJK against the innocent Kashmiris had unveiled the true intentions of Modi government.
It said that Kashmiri people were facing all kinds of cruelties, violence and infringement of basic human rights from last 73 years and day was imminent when they would get right of self-determination. India had revoked special status of Jammu and Kashmir which was clear violation of UN resolutions and world organization should take notice of Indian violation of basic human rights in IIOJK.
