Kashmir Martyrs’ Day
Soldiers of Dogra Singh killed 22 Kashmiris in 1931. Significantly, Kashmiris all over the world, observe Kashmir Martyrs’ Day. Thus, to mark one of the many atrocities they have been facing for their freedom.
In line with commemorating the day, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) leadership paid tribute to the martyrs.
Thus, the APHC leadership urged the United Nations (UN) to take steps in settling the Kashmir dispute. That is, by implementing its relevant resolutions.
