Srinagar : The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) leaders have felicitated the people and government of Pakistan ahead of their Independence Day, which will be observed on Friday, August 14.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, APHC spokesman Adv. Abdul Rashid Minhas, in a statement issued in Srinagar, said the APHC, its leaders and constituent parties stated that Pakistan’s Independence Day on August 14 is a day of thanksgiving and rejoicing for Kashmiris, whereas India’s Independence Day on August 15 is observed as a Black Day by them. The leaders and parties said Kashmiris consider Pakistan as their benefactor and ambassador, while they regard India as an oppressor and imperialist state.<\/p>\n
The leaders and parties maintained that the Kashmiri people are highly grateful to the government and people of Pakistan for their continued moral, political and diplomatic support to their just struggle for the right to self-determination. The statements said the Kashmiri people pray for the stability, prosperity and progress of Pakistan, as a strong Pakistan is a guarantee for the success of the Kashmir freedom movement.<\/p>\n
The leaders and parties said the Kashmiris\u2019 struggle is a continuation of the Pakistan Movement, which will be complete only when Jammu and Kashmir is freed from Indian occupation and becomes a part of Pakistan.<\/p>\n
They pointed out that alongside the supreme sacrifices of valiant Kashmiris, Pakistan\u2019s consistent diplomatic efforts have highlighted the Kashmir dispute and exposed India’s ugly colonial face at the international level.<\/p>\n
The APHC leaders and parties termed India’s Independence Day a Black Day for Kashmiris and appealed to the people of IIOJK to observe a strike. They said that India has no right to celebrate its Independence Day as it has usurped all basic rights of Kashmiris. They urged the people of the occupied territory to boycott functions related to the so-called Indian Independence Day and to hoist black flags on the day. They also appealed to the Kashmiri and Pakistani diaspora to organize protest rallies in different countries in front of Indian high commissions, embassies and other historical places against India’s illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
