Srinagar: Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and the world over will observe the Accession to Pakistan Day, tomorrow, (Friday) the 19th July, with a renewed pledge to continue the plebiscite struggle for Jammu and Kashmir and its complete merger with Pakistan.
According to Kashmir Media Service, July 19 is an important day of the Kashmir history, as in 1947 the people of Kashmir had decided their accession to Pakistan even before the partition of Indian sub-continent.
It was on 19th July 1947, genuine representatives of the Kashmiris unanimously passed the resolution of Kashmir’s Accession to Pakistan during a meeting of the All Jammu and Kashmir Muslim Conference at the residence of Sardar Muhammad Ibrahim Khan in Abi Guzar area of Srinagar.
The historic resolution called for the accession of the Jammu and Kashmir to Pakistan in view of its existing sentiments, religious, geographical, cultural and economic proximity to Pakistan and aspirations of millions of the Jammu and Kashmir people.
The development had come almost a month before the creation of two sovereign states of Pakistan and India under the Partition Plan of the British Indian colony on August 14 and 15 respectively, the same year.
As per the understanding behind the Partition Plan, the Princely States were free to accede to either of the two newly established countries. The decision of 19th July 1947 was a testimony to the fact that the people of Kashmir had linked their future with Pakistan. They took the decision of joining Pakistan to protect their political religious, social, cultural and economic rights, as they were well aware of their fate under Hindus who had deep-seated animosity for Muslims in Jammu and Kashmir.
