ISLAMABAD – A Black Day is being observed today (Oct 27) by Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and all over the world against forced and illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir by Indian forces.
It was on this day when Indian troops invaded Jammu and Kashmir and occupied it in total violation of Partition Plan of the Subcontinent and against the Kashmiris’ aspirations. The enforced killings, abduction and rape of women among the serious crims which are still being committed by Indian forces in the occupied valley.
President of Pakistan Dr. Arif Alvi reiterated unflinching and steadfast moral, diplomatic and political support for the just cause of the people of Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir. The freedom struggle cannot be suppressed through oppression, he said.
“This support will continue till the realization of their lawful right to self-determination,” he added.
He said that Pakistan strongly supports the OHCHR Report’s recommendation to form a Commission of Inquiry (COI) to analyze the human rights situation in the occupied area.

The president said that India forces on this day, seven decades ago, entered Srinagar to occupy and terrorize the innocent people in blatant violation of international law.
Arif Alvi said that the United Nations Security Council through several of its resolutions has validated the Kashmiris’ right to decide their future through a fair and impartial plebiscite.
Despite killing and blinding thousands of Kashmiris, the Indian forces are unable to shake their firm stand to be part of Pakistan. Only in September 2017, Indian forces killed 22 people.
A new wave of state terrorism engulfed the Kashmiris, especially women when incidents of braid chopping started happening in the valley.
The freedom movement had got momentum with the martyrdom of Burhan Wani, a young Kashmiri leader, during last year.
October 27, is observed as the Black Day as India forcibly occupied the land of Kashmir on that day and denied the right of self-determination.
When India and Pakistan became independent on August 1947, it was generally assumed that Kashmir, as an adjoining state with a predominantly Muslim population, would accede to Pakistan.
Its ruler, the Maharaja, however, on October 27, 1947, acceded to India through an improper and illegal instrument of accession and on the same day, India winched its forces to Srinagar and occupied the valley.
