DFP calls October 27 darkest day in Kashmir’s contemporary history
Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) has declared October 27 as the darkest day in Kashmir’s contemporary history, marking the date in 1947 when India invaded the occupied Jammu and Kashmir and occupied it illegally.
According to Kashmir Media Service, in a statement issued in Srinagar, DFP spokesman Advocate Arshad Iqbal described this invasion as a “naked aggression” that lacked both legal and moral justification.
He highlighted the devastating consequences of India’s prolonged military occupation, which he said poses an existential threat to the Kashmiri people. He criticized the Indian government’s actions as a brutal repression of the rights of Kashmiris over several decades.
Iqbal emphasized that the invasion constituted an egregious violation of international law and an attack on the political and democratic rights of millions of Kashmiris.
He noted the historic resistance of the Kashmiri people, stating, “Despite suffering at the hands of Indian tyrants, the valiant people of Kashmir have never accepted its dominance over the region.”
He reaffirmed that Kashmiris have consistently resisted Indian hegemony and will continue to do so in the future. “The day is not far when Kashmiris’ struggle and their sacrifices for the noble cause will reach fruition,” he asserted.
Addressing the Modi government’s actions since August 5, 2019, Iqbal said that Kashmiris have overwhelmingly rejected these measures. He argued that there are no supporters in Kashmir for the narratives being projected by the BJP to mislead the international community.
