In Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) reiterating its call for a complete shutdown on 5th August, has appealed the people to offer special prayers for the success of the ongoing freedom movement.
The incarcerated Vice Chairman, Ghulam Ahmad Gulzar, in a special message from Srinagar Central Jail said that 05 August is one of the most tragic days of modern Kashmir history and the Kashmiris will always observe it as exploitation day, day of mourning and as a black day.
He said it was on 05 August in 2019 when RSS-backed fascist government led by Narendra Modi usurped all basic rights of Kashmiris and turned IIOJK into a big open-air prison.
APHC General Secretary, Molvi Bashir Ahmad Irfani in a statement said Kashmiris will prefer martyrdom over Hindutva slavery.
