Posters emerge in IIOJK urging October 27 to be observed as Black Day
Srinagar: In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, posters have appeared in Srinagar and other areas, urging people to observe October 27 as Black Day to protest the territory’s illegal occupation by India.
According to Kashmir Media Service, these posters, distributed by Freedom Lovers and other pro-freedom groups, assert that on October 27, 1947, Indian troops invaded Jammu and Kashmir in direct violation of the Partition Plan and international laws, disregarding the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.
The messages prominently displayed on walls, buildings, and utility poles designate this date as the darkest day in Jammu and Kashmir’s history. Since that time, countless Kashmiris have sacrificed their lives for freedom, while many have suffered torture at the hands of occupying forces. The posters highlight that thousands of Hurriyat leaders, activists, and ordinary citizens remain imprisoned. They also draw attention to the tragic consequences of the conflict, including the blinding of hundreds of youth due to pellet gunfire and widespread destruction of property.
Emphasizing their resolve, the posters declare that Kashmiris will never accept Indian slavery and will continue their struggle for self-determination. They call for a complete strike across the territory on that day and encourage Kashmiris abroad to organize protests against the occupation of their homeland.
These messages have also been extensively shared on social media platforms, including X, Facebook, and WhatsApp, amplifying calls for solidarity and raising awareness of the ongoing struggle of the people of occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
