Kashmir Solidarity Day to be observed today - Holiday in Pakistan
| The government has announced public holiday on February 5 on account of Kashmir Solidarity Day. According to a notification issued by the Interior Division here on Wednesday, one-minute silence would be observed throughout the country on Monday at 10am to pay homage to Kashmiri martyrs |
With glowing tributes to be paid to the valiant martyrs who are giving supreme sacrifices to seek their birth right of self-determination, a pragmatic cause yet to be accomplished Kashmir Solidarity Day will be observed all-over Pakistan and in Azad Kashmir on Tuesday, February-5 with a renewed pledge.
| With all the troubles in Pakistan, you would think the last thing on their minds would be the situation in a foreign country |
| Except they don't consider Kashmir to be 'foreign'. Never have, never will. |
The pledge shall be expressing all-out cohesion with the people of the Himalayan State of Jammu & Kashmir who are engaged in a bona fide struggle to make India quit part of their homeland which is being illegally and illicitly held in occupation by the New Delhi rulers for the past over six decades.
As part of the day-long programme, one minute silence will be observed throughout Pakistan and Azad Kashmir at 10 AM [PST] manifesting an overt symbol of inmost homage to the martyrs of Jammu & Kashmir.
| No silence for the millions killed by the Pakistani army in East Pakistan? |
Update info indicates that human chains by the people of Pakistan and Jammu & Kashmir on all bridges linking Azad Kashmir with Pakistan will be one of the salient features of the day-long programme.
| Just don't try to cross the LOC. The Indians will shoot you. |
Special ceremonies including relies, processions, seminars, symposia will also be held reiterating complete solidarity with the people of occupied Jammu & Kashmir in their just and principled movement for freedom of the motherland from Indian subjugation.
| If pakistan spent 10% of this effort on reforming their country, it might be a normal state |
| That wouldn't be Islamic ... |
eople, representing all segments of social and political circles shall meet at multiple gatherings to highlight the significance of the day.
Politicians, those now ruling the liberated part of the State Azad Kashmir as well as others hailing from the opposition parties contemplate to visit Kashmir Refugee camps to express solidarity as well as the relief centers where October-8 quake-hit families are lodged to extend them help with succor in addition to what Pakistan is already doing to ensure their live-on with optimal secure environs.
To recap, Kashmir Solidarity Day is observed on Feb 5 every year by the people of Pakistan and Kashmiris living on both sides of the Line of Control.
| To recap, this obsession with Kashmir is quite bizarre |
The main objective is to express complete solidarity with the people of the State and simultaneously to invite the attention of the global community towards the plight of Kashmiris in the wake of massive human rights abuses by the Indian occupation forces and denial by New Delhi rulers vis-à-vis peaceful solution of Kashmir problem in line with the UN resolutions which reflect the aspirations of the people of Jammu & Kashmir with the right of self-determination as the only basis.
A report from Gilgit also speaks of Kashmir Solidarity Day functions which have been planned for observance in a befitting manner in the Northern Areas
