Summary The day is being marked with a complete strike in Indian Occupied Kashmir.
SRINAGAR (Dunya News) - Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and across the world are observing Indian Republic Day, today (Thursday), as Black Day to draw the attention of the international community towards non-implementation of the UN resolution on Kashmir.
Call for the observance of the Black Day has been given by the joint resistance leadership comprising Syed Ali Gilani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik. The day will be marked with a complete strike in occupied Kashmir and anti-India demonstrations and rallies in world capitals.
The day is observed as Black Day to remind the world that India’s continued denial of Kashmiris’ right to self-determination is contrary to its claim of being a democratic republic.
The observance of the day also aimed at to apprise the world community about the continued hostile attitude of India denying Kashmiris their legitimate right to self-determination and escaping from the peaceful solution of the much delayed Kashmir dispute.
In Azad Jammu and Kashmir, protest rallies and demonstrations against Indian occupation of a major part of Jammu and Kashmir, will be hall mark of the black day in all ten districts of the liberated territory.
