Srinagar, 5 August 2024 (TDI): To express their strong dissent and resistance against the Indian government’s illegitimate and fraudulent action conducted on this day in 2019, Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control (LoC), in Pakistan and worldwide, are observing today, August 5, as Youm-e-Istehsal-e-Kashmir.
On this day in 2019, the media claims that India had directly abolished the special status of Indian unlawfully occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) and imposed an unprecedented military and police siege in the occupied area, in flagrant defiance of global law and UN resolutions.
