Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and the world over are observing the Indian Republic Day as Black Day on Wednesday, in protest against India’s continued denial of the right to self-determination to them.
The call for observance of the Black Day has been given by All Parties Hurriyat Conference Chairman, Masarrat Aalam Butt and supported by other Hurriyat leaders.
The day is being marked by a civil curfew by the people in India illegally occupying Jammu while the occupation authorities have suspended internet services in all areas of the territory.
Kashmiris and their sympathizers are holding anti-India demonstrations and rallies in world capitals to draw the attention of the international community towards the Indian state terrorism in IIOJK.
Meanwhile, the occupation authorities have turned the entire Kashmir valley and parts of the Jammu region into a military garrison by imposing curfew-like restrictions and deploying Indian troops and police personnel in strength in the name of so-called security measures.
