Kashmir Solidarity Day Observed as Pakistan and Global Community Protest Revocation of Special Status
Pakistan and communities across the world are observing Kashmir Solidarity Day, highlighting ongoing concerns over the situation in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir. The day marks the anniversary of the Indian government’s decision to revoke the region’s special autonomous status in 2019, a move that has drawn widespread criticism and sparked renewed calls for Kashmiri rights.
The revocation of the special status led to increased restrictions in Kashmir, including widespread curfews, arrests, and reports of human rights violations. The day serves as a reminder of the continued struggles faced by the Kashmiri people, with persistent reports of oppression and limited freedoms under ongoing security measures.
Demonstrations and public statements in Pakistan and among diaspora communities emphasize solidarity with Kashmiris in their pursuit of self-determination. Leaders and activists urge the international community to pay attention to the situation, echoing calls for adherence to United Nations resolutions regarding the dispute.
Supporters of the Kashmiri cause assert their commitment to standing with the people of Kashmir and amplifying their voices on the world stage. They call for the restoration of rights, the implementation of international agreements, and an end to what they describe as injustices endured by the Kashmiri population.
