Kashmiris observe Jammu Martyrs Day today

Muzaffarabad: Kashmiris living on both sides of the Line of Control (LoC) and around the world are celebrating Jammu Martyrs Day on Wednesday.

During the partition of the subcontinent, the people of the Muslim-majority region of Jammu faced the atrocities of the Dogra Maharaja and the Hindu riots for their love of Pakistan. Despite the brutality and oppression, Kashmiris did not back down from their stand, therefore, at the beginning of November 1947, millions of unarmed men, women, and children were killed.

Despite the atrocities of the Dogra regime and the Hindu rioters, Muslims continued to raise slogans of ‘Pakistan Zindabad’.

Another convoy of freedom-crazed Muslims was brought to Kathua and on November 6, the most massacred took place in the forests of Jammu.

In Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, oppression has been going on for the last 77 years and the proportion of the Muslim population in the Indian Kashmir Valley is changing rapidly. Since 1947, more than 500,000 Kashmiris have been martyred.
