All is set by Jammu and Kashmir people living on both sides of the line of control, AJK and Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) besides rest of the world to observe black day on Friday, October 27 to mark strong protest and indignation against the continual forced and unlawful Indian occupation of Jammu and Kashmir for the last 76 years since this bleak day of October 27, 1947 when New Delhi had forcibly landed her occupational armed military troops in occupied Srinagar.
The day marks world-wide protest by Jammu and Kashmir population against continual 76-year Indian illegal occupation of bulk of the internationally-acknowledged disputed Himalayan State of Jammu and Kashmir. Jammu and Kashmir people living either side of the LoC treat October 27 as the black day in the history of the disputed Himalayan state of Jammu and Kashmir when India had landed her armed troops absolutely against the aspirations and the wishes of the people of the state.
The day is observed as black day by Jammu Kashmir people every year to mark extreme resentment and indignation over the continued unlawful and forcible occupation of bulk of Jammu Kashmir state by the Indian tyrannical forces. It was on this day in 1947 when Indian armed troops invaded Jammu and Kashmir and occupied it absolutely against the wishes of the Jammu and Kashmir people and in the sheer violations of partition plan of the sub-continent denying all international norms and commitments.
President Dr. Arif Aliv in his message stated that 27 October 1947 is one of the darkest days for the Kashmiri people. The Indian occupation of Jammu and Kashmir, which began on that day, stifled the legitimate aspirations of the Kashmiris to determine their own destiny. Over the last seventy-six years, India has not only reneged on its obligations to the people of Jammu and Kashmir but has also shown disregard to multilateralism by backtracking on the UNSC resolutions.
This day, I pay homage to the exemplary courage of the Kashmiris in their continued fight for the right to self-determination while simultaneously resisting the excesses being committed by the Indian forces. Undoubtedly, their sacrifices will not go in vain. The unilateral and illegal actions of 5 August 2019 are in blatant violation of the UN Security Council resolutions and international law.
