Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) on Thursday marked ‘Kashmir Day’ at its Azad Kashmir Mirpur Campus, to show its solidarity with the oppressed people of the occupied territory.
Initially, the University had planned to hold an Open Day to promote its ongoing admissions’ campaign, but it turned it into a ‘Kashmir Day’, in view of the prevailing heart-rendering situation in Indian-held Valley.
It was also in line with the instructions of the Vice Chancellor Professor Dr. Zia-Ul-Qayyum to avail every possibility opportunity to demonstrate solidarity with the Kashmir people in their hour of trial and tribulation, said Director Mirpur Region Faisal Shahzad.
The event, presided over a Kashmiri national and British Counsellor Mrs. Fozia Zameer, was largely attended by the students and academicians of the region.
The students presented Kashmiri songs, Tableau and speeches, illustrating the freedom struggle and the brutalities being perpetuated upon the Kashmiri people by the Modi’s government.—INP
