ISLAMABAD: 'Kashmir Martyrs Day' will be observed across the country including Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) on Monday (today) to pay homage to 22 Kashmiris martyred by the troops of Dogra Maharaja on July, 13 1931 for appearing outside the Central Jail in Srinagar in support of Abdul Qadeer who was charged for propelling people to defy the Dogra Rule.
Functions and seminars, across the AJK, have also been arranged to pay glowing tributes to martyrs on this day.
The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has appealed the Kashmiris to observe a complete strike In Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJ&K) in view of the 'Kashmir Martyrs Day'.
