\nSenior APHC leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq who continues to remain under house arrest since 4th August 2019 has appealed to the people of Jammu and Kashmir to observe 5th August as Black Day to convey a strong message to the entire world that Kashmiris do not accept India\u2019s illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir.
\nMirwaiz Umar Farooq in a statement released to the media in Srinagar said, \u201cKashmiris will continue their struggle till they achieve right to self determination. Oppression of India cannot stop them from getting their inalienable right\u201d.

\nHe urged the Kashmiris all over the world to hold protest demonstrations on Friday against the Indian aggression and to draw the attention of the world towards the suffering of oppressed people of occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
\nAPHC leader Ghulam Mohammad Khan Sopori in a special party meeting termed the abrogation of special status enjoyed by Jammu and Kashmir through revocation of Article 370 on 5 August 2019, a \u2018breach of promise\u2019 and \u2018treachery\u2019 by India as well as apathy of the United Nations.
\nExpressing dismay at the fact that India got the courage to violate international laws and revoke the special status of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir despite United Nations resolutions because accept Pakistan and a handful of countries, the rest of the world maintained a criminal silence.
\nKhan Sopori said that through revocation of special status of Kashmir, the ruling regime of India tried to tarnish Kashmiriyat, humanity and democracy in the occupied territory for its nefarious political purposes and appealed to the peace-loving Indians to find a way to resolve the Kashmir issue besides restoring its special status and play their role in stopping the violation of human rights in occupied territory.
\nAPHC leaders Hilal Ahmad War and Abdul Samad Inqilabi in their statements while terming August 5 a darkest day in the history of Jammu and Kashmir, said \u201d The Modi government has unleashed a reign of terror in IIOJK since August 5 , 2019 by using its occupational forces.\u201d They appealed to the global community to intervene and stop the bloodbath in Kashmir.
\nAPHC leaders Khadim Hussain and Syed Sibte Shabbir Qummi in a joint statement in Srinagar said that the sacrifice by the grandson of the Holy Prophet in Muharram , the first month of Islamic calendar, is a message of hope for all the oppressed nations including the people of occupied Jammu and Kashmir. The leaders said that India is hell-bent on eliminating the very existence of Muslims in IIOJK for demanding their right to self-determination.
\nKhadim Hussain and Sibte Shabbir Qummi expressed the hope that India would, one day, leave Kashmir defeated at the hands of valiant Kashmiri people, who are determined to carry forward their struggle for freedom till its logical conclusion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
