Kashmir Black Day Event Held at the Embassy of Pakistan in Beijing

October 27,2021

Kashmir Black Day was observed with solemnity at the Embassy of Pakistan Beijing. On this this day in 1947, Indian forces unlawfully entered Jammu and Kashmir,commencing the dark era of illegal Indian occupation that continues till date. 

On this occasion, a special event was organized to show solidarity with the heroic struggle of the people of Jammu and Kashmir for their inalienable right of self-determination as enshrined under the international law and promised in several United Nations Security Council resolutions.

Highlights of the event included a photo exhibition on the Kashmiri freedom struggle and the brutalities of the Indian occupation forces. The students of Pakistan Embassy College through a special performance highlighted the plight of the people of the Occupied Jammu and Kashmir followed by a special documentary on Indian human rights violations in Kashmir. Messages of the President and Prime Minister were also read during the event.

Ambassador Moin ul Haque speaking on the occasion paid rich tribute to the valiant struggle of the people of Jammu & Kashmir against Indian occupation. He said that the endless atrocities of the Indian occupation forces had failed to break the resolve of the Kashmiris. Indian repression in the Occupied Kashmir had especially become more intensified and horrifying levels after the August 2019 illegal and unilateral actions of the Indian occupation authorities. He said that Kashmiris’ call for freedom is not merely for a piece of territory. It was a classic struggle by the oppressed people against an aggressor for a larger cause of human dignity and freedom. Since then the entire illegally occupied territory of Kashmir had been under siege, their leadership incarcerated and their youth targeted in staged search operations. Jammu & Kashmir has become the most militarized zones in the world yet the Kashmiri freedom struggle has continued unweavered.

He further said that entire Pakistani nation had and would continue to stand with their Kashmiri brethren in their just struggle for self-determination. He also appreciated the principled stance of China on the Kashmir dispute and China’s support in raising the issue at the United Nations Security Council.
