Srinagar : Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control (LoC) and across the world are observing October 27 as Black Day today to convey to the world that India has occupied their motherland illegally and against their aspirations.
According to Kashmir Media Service, call for the observance of the Black Day has been given by the All Parties Hurriyat Conference. Protest marches, rallies and seminars are being held in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan and across the world to condemn the invasion of the territory by the Indian Army on October 27, 1947, as well as the revocation of the special status of occupied Jammu and Kashmir by the Narendra Modi-led Hindutva government on August 5, 2019.
