PESHAWAR
The district administration, civil society, educational institutions and general public on Thursday observed Kashmir black day with a resolve to continue supporting Kashmiri people in their just demand for right to self-determination and liberation from illegal occupation of India.
In this regard, a walk was organized from the Chief Minister’s House to the Governor’s House under the leadership of Finance Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Taimur Saleem Jhagra, Minister for Higher Education Kamran Bangash, Deputy Commissioner Peshawar Shafiullah Khan, Hurriyat Leader Dawood Khan Yousafzai while Senior officers, students, civil and defense personnel and hundreds of people belonging to different schools of thought participated in the event.
The participants held up various placards and banners inscribed with slogans of solidarity with the Kashmiris and condemning the Indian brutalities.
On the occasion the participants in their addresses said that October 27, 1947, India landed its troops in Kashmir and occupied it illegally and since then India was committing sheer violations of human rights and deprived Kashmiris of their basic human rights.
They said that despite the brutal tactics and oppression of the Indian forces, Kashmiris have not retreated an inch from their demand for the right to self-determination.
They said that we will not leave Kashmiri people alone because thousands of Kashmiri people including male, females, youth, children, elders and leadership have sacrificed for this and their sacrifice will not go in vain.
The participants demanded that United Nations should force India to resolve the Kashmir dispute as per the resolutions of UN Security Council.
On the day, events were also organized at all public and private schools in the provincial capital under the supervision of the Peshawar district administration wherein solidarity with the Kashmiri people was expressed and slogans were raised against India.
