Oct 27 serves as day to highlight India’s forcible occupation of Kashmir: NA Speaker
Islamabad: National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq has said that October 27 serves as a day to highlight India’s forcible occupation of Kashmir and the atrocities committed against the Kashmiri people.
According to Kashmir Media Service, on October 27 in 1947, Indian forces entered Srinagar and illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir—a day history will forever remember as “Black Day.”
In his message regarding Black Day, Ayaz Sadiq reaffirmed that the right to self-determination was a fundamental right of the Kashmiri people, who had made immense sacrifices in pursuit of this cause. He added that India had employed every possible means of oppression and brutality to suppress this right, but had failed and will continue to fail.
Ayaz Sadiq condemned India’s actions on August 5, 2019, describing them as blatant violations of international law and urged India to reverse its illegal actions and end human rights abuses in occupied Kashmir.
Referring to India’s constitutional amendments and the sham elections held in occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the Speaker emphasized that the Kashmiri people had categorically rejected these moves.
He reiterated that Pakistan fully supports the Kashmiri people’s right to self-determination and stands in solidarity with them.
Paying tribute to the heroes of Kashmir’s freedom movement, he said that their sacrifices would always be remembered with honour.
