Kashmiris observing Youm-e-Istehsal-Kashmir today
Srinagar: Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control, in Pakistan and the world over are observing today, the 5th August, as Youm-e-Istehsal-e-Kashmir to register their protest and defiance against Indian government’s illegal and fraudulent action taken on this day in 2019.
According to Kashmir Media Service, New Delhi in gross violation of the UN resolutions and international law, directly repealed the special status of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir and imposed unprecedented military and police siege in the territory on this day in 2019.
The day is being marked as a Black Day in IIOJK while the people in Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistan and the Kashmiri diaspora are holding protest demonstrations, rallies, seminars and other programs in capital cities of the world to draw the attention of the international community towards the grim situation in IIOJK due to unprecedented repression unleashed by Indian troops in the territory. Call for the observance of the Youm-e-Istehsal-e-Kashmir has been given by the All Parties Hurriyat Conference.
Meanwhile, APHC leaders, in their statements said, August 5 is a black day in the history of Jammu and Kashmir when India attacked Jammu and Kashmir and took away the unique identity of Kashmiris. They said that after October 27, 1947, this was the second time when India fully demonstrated its colonial and anti-Muslim mentality.
The APHC leaders said that the only purpose of the Indian move of August 5, 2019 was to change Jammu and Kashmir from a Muslim majority to a Muslim minority territory. They deplored that the Modi government is using brutal tactics to advance its Hindutva agenda in occupied Kashmir. They maintained that despite the endless Indian oppression, brutalities and cruel tactics, the morale of Kashmiris is high and they are determined to take their freedom movement to its logical conclusion.
