MUZAFFARABAD: Thousands of Kashmiri people observed a ‘black day’ in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) on Sunday, rallying against Indian "brutalities" and occupation of the Himalayan region.
The rally was set up by the United Jihad Council (UJC), which consists of 16 groups.
A crowd of around 3,000 people shouted "Al-Jihad", "Allahu Akbar" (God is greater) and "We want Freedom" as they gathered in Muzaffarabad, the capital of AJK, said an AFP reporter at the scene.
The protestors waved black flags and shouted: "Our struggle will continue till Kashmir is freed", and condemned Indian "brutalities".
Kashmiri people observe October 27 as "black day" every year to protest the arrival of Indian troops and their invasion of the Himalayan region in 1947.
Prime Minister of AJK Chaudhry Abdul Majeed also addressed a separate gathering in Muzaffarabad in connection with the "black day", and urged the international community to stop India from committing serious human rights violations in the mountain region.
"A durable solution to the problem is possible only if Kashmiris are allowed to exercise their right to self-determination under the UN resolutions," he added. (AFP)
