SARGODHA, Oct 27 (APP):Like many other parts of the country, Black Day was observed across Sargodha Division on Monday to condemn India’s illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir and to express solidarity with the oppressed Kashmiri people.
A central rally was held at the Sargodha Arts Council, led by Additional Deputy Commissioner (Headquarters) Majid Bin Ahmad and Additional Deputy Commissioner (General) Rana Muhammad Abubakar. The rally culminated at GPO Chowk, where participants, waving Pakistani and Kashmiri flags, chanted slogans in support of Kashmir’s freedom.
