ISLAMABAD – Pakistanis and Kashmiris across the world are observing ‘Black Day’ today to register the protest against the illegal occupation of the territory by India on this day in 1947.
Each year, October 27 is observed as Kashmir Black Day as the day marks a grave human tragedy in the Indian Illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) when Indian forces rushed Srinagar to occupy, subjugate, oppress, and terrorise the Kashmiris.

Khan also urged the world leaders to play its role in pressing India to stop forthwith its human rights violations in IOK, and let the Kashmiris decide their own future in accordance with the UNSC resolutions.
Referring to the Kashmir Black Day, PM said it was also a day to commemorate the countless sacrifices Kashmiris had made and continue to make as they resist inhuman occupation and subjugation by India against their will.
PM said, “Today’s India is ruled by the RSS ideology whose extremist worldview has no place for Muslims or other minorities. India, on August 5, 2019, took unilateral and illegal action and for the last 815 days, has put Kashmiris under military siege while resorting to a media blackout and other restrictions”.
Meanwhile, President Dr Arif Alvi led a rally taken out on the constitution avenue in the federal capital today to express solidarity with the oppressed Kashmiri people.
