Youm-e-Istehsal Kashmir is being observed today to express support for the Kashmiri people’s right to self-determination and to condemn India’s illegal and unilateral action of August 5, 2019.
It was on this day in 2019 that India unilaterally and illegally stripped Jammu and Kashmir of its special status, the action which has since then been rejected by the international community, Kashmiris and Pakistanis alike.
Special events have been organized in connection with the day.
A rally will be taken out on the Constitution Avenue in Islamabad to be participated by people from different walks of life including the federal ministers and members of the parliament. Sirens will be blown and one minute silence will be observed at nine am.
Rallies will also be taken out across all four provinces, Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.
Radio Pakistan will broadcast special programs to highlight the sacrifices of Kashmiri people and the blatant human rights violations in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
