Nation observed Youm-e-Istehsal to express solidarity with Kashmiris
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The nation observed Youm-e-Istehsal today to express solidarity with the oppressed Kashmiri people on completion of two years of military siege of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJ&K).
It was on the 5th August 2019 that the special constitutional status of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir was scrapped by the Modi government.
A host of events was arranged in order to denounce the Indian unilateral illegal actions against Kashmiri people as well as the atrocities being carried out by the Indian forces in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Solidarity walks of one mile were arranged in all the main cities including the federal capital.
Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi led the rally in which the participants wore black bands and carried the flags of Pakistan and Azad Kashmir.
One minute silence was observed across the country. Traffic was also halted for one minute and sirens were played.
Meanwhile, posters and billboards have been displayed at the main roads of Islamabad and other provincial capitals to highlight the plight of Kashmiri people and expose the atrocities being committed by the occupation forces in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
