Kashmiris all set to observe Martyrs’ Day

Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and the world over will observe the Jammu Martyrs’ Day on Monday (today) to reaffirm the resolve to continue the martyrs’ mission till the realisation of their inalienable right to self-determination.

Hundreds of thousands of Kashmiris were massacred by the forces of Maharaja Hari Singh, Indian Army and Hindutva forces in different parts of the Jammu region while they were migrating to Pakistan during the first week of November in 1947.

The APHC leaders and organisations in their statements in Srinagar, while paying tributes to the Jammu martyrs, said that their blood would not go to waste. They said that the martyrs of Jammu had laid down their lives for a sacred cause and their unprecedented sacrifices would not be forgotten.

The leaders and organisations said that the heartbreaking genocide of the Muslims of Jammu in 1947 was one of the biggest tragedies in the world in which hundreds of thousands of Muslims were killed.

They said that the best way to pay homage to the martyrs was to continue their mission till it reached its logical conclusion.

Meanwhile, pro-freedom organisations displayed posters in Srinagar and other parts of the territory, paying tributes to the victims of the Jammu massacre. People have been asked to observe the Martyrs’ Day with full devotion.
