In Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), freedom organizations appealed to the people to observe August 5, Youm-e-Istehsal-e-Kashmir, as Black Day.

The appeal was made by almost all Kashmiri freedom organizations through posters, appearing in Srinagar and other parts of the Kashmir valley. The posters urged people to observe August 5 as Youm-e-Istehsal-e-Kashmir.

On August 5, 2019, the Modi-led Hindutva regime revoked Article 370 that granted special status to the internationally recognized disputed territory and imposed a brutal military and police siege.
