Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and all across the world observed Black Day on Tuesday, to convey to the international community that they reject India's illegal occupation on their soil. The Kashmir Media Service reported that call for observance was given by All Parties Hurriyet Conference (APHC) and senior Kashmiri Hurriyet leader, Syed Ali Gilani.
People took to the streets in Habba Kadal, Maisuma and Gaw Kadal in occupied Srinagar, against the violence on peaceful protesters by use of brute force. Several demonstrators were injured and the condition of one of them was stated to be critical. Also, demonstrations continued in Handwara against the killing of a student of class 12, by Indian troops.
Senior APHC leader, Agha Syed Hassan Al-Moosvi, while addressing a party meeting in Badgam, urged India to shun its intransigence and take steps towards resolving the Kashmir dispute, once and for all. It was on October 27 in 1947 when Indian troops invaded Kashmir in clear violation of the partition plan of the sub-continent and the Kashmiri aspirations.
