Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control (LoC) and all over the world will observe 'Black Day' on October 27 to mark the illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir by India.
It was on this day in 1947 when Indian troops invaded Jammu and Kashmir and occupied it in total violation of Partition Plan of the Subcontinent and against the Kashmiris' aspirations.
The day is marked every year to express support and solidarity with Kashmiri people in their just struggle for right to self-determination and remind the United Nations and the international community of its commitments regarding the resolution of this longstanding dispute.
Seminars will be organized and rallies will also be taken out in different cities to mark the day.
Meanwhile, a seminar titled 'Seven Decades Resistance: UN Kashmir Report and Way Forward' is being held in Islamabad on Friday afternoon under the aegis of Kashmir Institute of International Relations to expose the ongoing Indian repression and atrocities in occupied Kashmir against the innocent civilians.
President AJK Sardar Masood Khan, Minister for Human Rights Shireen Mazari, Opposition leader in the Senate Raja Zafar-ul-Haq, Leader of the House in the Upper House of the parliament Shibli Faraz and other Kashmiri leaders and renowned diplomats are expected to address the seminar.
