Srinagar: October 27, 1947, bears witness to the birth of long-lasting conflict over Jammu and Kashmir and the plight of countless souls in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, said a fresh article on the day.
This day, the article wrote, forever etched into the collective memory of people of Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
“It was on this ominous day that Indian forces descended upon Srinagar, a move devoid of any legal justification. This marked the beginning of a prolonged and tumultuous period in the region, one that has spanned over seven decades. In the years that followed, the Kashmiri people have borne the brunt of this military occupation.”
The Indian government has also consistently used religious aggression to suppress the Kashmiri people’s voices. The 2019 curfew and ban on gatherings were imposed to quash protests against the revocation of Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
“This aggression not only exacted a heavy toll in human suffering but also led to the desecration of historic Muslim sites, a gross violation of cultural and religious rights,” as per the article.
