Protest marches, rallies and seminars will be held in Pakistan and abroad to condemn the invasion of the area by the Indian Army on 27 October 1947 and the cancellation of the special status of Occupied Kashmir on 5 August 2019.
President Dr. Arif Alvi said on Wednesday that we celebrate the Kashmir Day to remember the sacrifices of our Kashmiri brothers in the just struggle for self-determination while condemning the ongoing atrocities of the Indian occupying forces for the last seven and a half decades. “
In his message, he said that October 27 this year marks the completion of 75 years of India’s illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
