Nation observes Kashmir Solidarity Day with renewed spirit
The Kashmir Solidarity Day is being observed today (Friday) across the country with renewed commitment to bring Kashmir issue to the limelight and expose worst ever oppression being perpetrated by Indian occupation forces against Kashmiris in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJ&K).
One minute silence will be observed at 10:00 am across the country.
On the occasion, Prime Minister Imran Khan will address a public gathering at Kotli in Azad Jammu and Kashmir. President Dr. Arif Alvi will also address the session of AJK Legislative Assembly in Muzaffarabad today.
Solidarity walks have also been arranged in Islamabad, Muzaffarabad, Gilgit and in four provincial headquarters.
Human chains will be formed at Kohala and other important points linking Pakistan and Azad Kashmir.
India on August 05, 2019 in a unilateral move abrogated Articles 370 and 35A granting special status to occupied Kashmir. The move was followed by imposition of curfew and communication blackout in the valley still intact after more than a year.
Pakistan has, ever since, been raising its voice against Indian atrocities and gross human rights violations in Kashmir. Prime Minister Imran Khan also, in his historic speech at UNGA session last year, also highlighted how India has illegally imposed curfew and lockdown in the valley. He also warned the world that the worst humanitarian crisis could unfold in Kashmir followed by a possibility of war between the two nuclear states.
Even the international media, on several occasions, has highlighted the deteriorating situation in Kashmir resulting from the persistent curfew and lockdown.
