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 |
