Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control (LOC) and around the world marked India's Republic Day on Sunday as a 'Black Day' to protest against the occupation and human rights abuses in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
This annual protests in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), IIOJK and elsewhere, is a reiteration of the Kashmiris' strong indignation and resistance against Indian rule, and the continued brutalities against the innocent Kashmiris by Indian forces.
In AJK, protest rallies and demonstrations were held in all the 10 districts, with a major rally in the state metropolis, attended by leaders of various political parties and members of the AJK Legislative Assembly.
Similar protests were also held in other parts of the world, including Pakistan, to condemn India's occupation and human rights abuses in Kashmir and persistent denial of their democratic right to self-determination.
In IIOJK, the day was marked by a complete shutdown amid heightened restrictions in the name of security measures, which sent a clear message to the international community that India had no moral standing to celebrate its Republic Day.
The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) called on the international community to take notice of the worsening situation in IIOJK and pressure India to resolve the Kashmir dispute peacefully.
