In light of recent actions in IOK, this day is more relevant, significant, and forceful than ever before. Times are changing and the world is waking up to the cause of Kashmir.
Earlier on August 5th, 2019, the BJP-led government uncovered its violent agenda against the people of Kashmir through state terrorism. The autonomy and special status of Jammu and Kashmir was illegally abolished, following the worst lockdown and blackout.
