Kashmiris to observe India’s independence day as Black Day

Like all previous years Jammu and Kashmir State people living on both sides of the line of control and the rest of the world would observe India’s independence day falling on August 15 (Tuesday) as Black Day. Kashmiris observe August 15 every year as a black day to reiterate ever-lasting hatred against India and to register strong protest over Delhi’s forced Aug 05, 2019, sinister action of scrapping the special status of the internationally recognised Jammu and Kashmir state. Kashmiris observe India’s all national days including independence day as black day to condemn India for constantly denying Kashmiris their birth right to self-determination and to apprise the external world of India’s ongoing worst reign of state terrorism making people of occupied Jammu Kashmir state besieged, at gunpoint of over two million of her military and paramilitary troops. India has unleashed history’s worst atrocities and state terrorism against the people in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), who have been fighting for the liberation of their motherland from the forced Indian rule for the past 76 years. The observance of the scheduled Indian Independence Day as the black day is also aimed at expressing indignation against Indian imperialism for forcibly keeping the bulk part of the State in her unlawful and forcible occupation for the past 76 years.
