kashmir day
The tradition of observing solidarity by the people of Pakistan with their Kashmiri brethren has been in vogue since 1990. The day is observed as a commitment by people of Pakistan to extend their moral, political and diplomatic support to their Kashmiri brethren till the realization of the right to self determination as envisaged in the UN resolutions. In 1990, after Indian authorities forced the Kashmiri puppet Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah to resign and enforced Governor Rule in IOK, Mr. Jagmohan was appointed as new Governor of the state on 19 January 1990. Mr. Jagmohan, a declared anti-Muslim / anti-Kashmiri, on assumption of appointment unleashed a new reign of terror against pro-movement demonstrations. On 21 January 1990, under his directions 55 innocent Kashmiri civilians were killed in Basantbagh Gawadakal in Srinagar. Peaceful protestors were banned in Kashmir Valley and anybody found on streets was ruthlessly murdered by Indian security forces under the directions of Mr. Jagmohan. It was in this backdrop that the people of Pakistan owing to their natural affinity with the Kashmiri brethren, observed a strike in Pakistan on 5th February 1990 where the people of Pakistan vowed their solidarity with the people of Kashmir. The strike was also a reminder to the international community to take into cognizance the Indian atrocities and inhuman behavior in Kashmir. Since then the day is observed every year when Pakistani public renew their pledge of solidarity with the Kashmiri people. Pakistani government as well as the Pakistani people has always stood their commitment on issue of Kashmir. Pakistan’s domestic as well as foreign policy has been directed towards resolution of Kashmir issue as per the aspirations of Kashmiri people. The cause of Kashmir stands at the highest priority for Pakistan. On international for a including the UN as well as its agencies and the Human Rights Organizations of the world, Pakistan has always advocated the right of self-determination for the people of Kashmir vehemently. On the contrary, India has always denied the right of freedom to the innocent Kashmiri masses and tried to suppress their voice through extra-judicial / mass killings, arbitrary arrests, ruthless and inhuman torture and sexual molestation using the instrument of Indian security forces. According to statistics, in last twenty years 93, 714 innocent Kashmiris have been martyred, 1, 07, 436 children orphaned, 10, 021 women raped and 6, 989 Kashmiris have been killed in custody. The recent evidence of unidentified mass graves in Kashmir is also another darkest chapter of human rights violations in IOK. In defiance to all international humanitarian laws, India is still continuing with its oppressive policies. Observance of 5th February stands as a milestone which signifies that Kashmiris are not alone in their genuine struggle for the right of self-determination. It is the masses of Pakistan who stand as a firm support behind their Kashmiri brethren till they get their right to self-determination and Kashmir issue is resolved as per their wishes.
