Kashmiris across globe observe India’s I-Day as black day

People from diverse segments of civil society including social, political, and other public representative organisations attended the rallies holding black flags and wearing black bands around their arms to mark Indian Independence Day as black day. The leaders said India was rejoicing on its freedom but killing Kashmiris for demanding the same. A multi-layer security blanket involving helicopter reconnaissance and drone surveillance was put in place to ensure smooth conduct of India’s Independence Day celebrations in Kashmir. In his statement, Pakistan People’s Party PPP (Shaheed Bhutto) AJK chapter chief Muneer Hussain Ch Advocate has said that Indian independence day was observed as black day to express hatred against the Indian illegal occupation over their motherland. Eventually, India, through a gruesome operation resorted to an illicit invasion of the Jammu & Kashmir state.
