Posters appeal Kashmiris to observe Aug 5 Youm-e-Istehsal-e-Kashmir as Black Day

Posters have appeared, in Srinagar, rejecting the illegal and unilateral Indian moves of August 5, 2019, and appealing to the Kashmiris to observe the day as Black Day in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

On August 5, 2019 the Modi-led Hindutva government abrogated Kashmir’s special status and divided it into two union territories besides imposing military siege in the territory.

The poster called the day as “Youm-e-Istehsal-e-Kashmir”. The posters said that masses of Jammu and Kashmir are demanding reversing of actions of 5 August 2019, resolution of the Kashmir dispute as per UN resolutions, release of all political prisoners and end to human right violations in IIOJK. The posters urged the Indian Judiciary to give an urgent hearing and disposal to the representations before the courts and restore the special status of IIOJK.

The posters were displayed by Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Movement, Jammu and Kashmir Political Resistance Movement, Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Resistance Party, Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Movement, Jammu and Kashmir Justice and Peace Initiative, Nawjawanan-e-Hurriyat Jammu and Kashmir, Jammu and Kashmir Justice League Forum, Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Youth Forum, Vareseen-e-Shuhada Jammu and Kashmir and Sadai-e-Mazloom Jammu and Kashmir.

The posters said, on October 27, 1947, India had illegally invaded Jammu and Kashmir and occupied it against the will of the Kashmiri people and on August 5, 2019, it repealed its special status and merged it with the Indian Union.

The posters urged the people of Kashmir to observe complete shutdown on August 5 (Saturday) and also observe the day as Black Day. They read India must reverse its illegal and unilateral actions of August 5, 2019, lift its inhuman restrictions in IIOJK and stop its illegal measures to change demographic structure of the occupied territory.
