SRINAGAR (IHK): Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and across the world will observe Indian Republic Day today as Black Day to convey to the international community that Indian claim of being a democratic republic is a hoax as it continues to deny the Kashmiris their right to self-determination, reports KMS.
Call for the observance of the Day has been given by the APHC Chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, veteran Kashmiri Hurriyet leader Syed Ali Gilani and the High Court Bar Association.
The day will be marked by a complete strike in occupied Kashmir with all business establishments, offices, banks and courts remaining closed.
Ahead of the Black Day, tomorrow, a red alert has been sounded in the occupied territory, with Indian troops and police intensifying their search operations and frisking of pedestrians and motorists.
The areas around Bakhshi Stadium, the venue of the main official function in Srinagar, are under siege as the troops have strengthened their vigil by occupying all high-rise buildings. Surveillance cameras have also been installed around the Stadium.
On the other hand, forceful anti-India demonstrations, marked with complete shutdown, continued for the second consecutive day, Monday against the killing of a civilian by Indian troops in Kalampora area of Pulwama. Senior APHC leader, Shabbir Ahmad Shah, along with a dozen Hurriyet activists, was arrested at Kakpora while on his way to visit the family of the martyred.
The APHC Chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, in a statement issued in Srinagar on Monday strongly denounced the killing of the civilian and the arrest of Shabbir Ahmad Shah. He said that withdrawal of Indian troops was imperative to bring an end to the human rights violations in the occupied territory. Kashmiris to observe Black Day today
