ISLAMABAD, Oct 27 (APP):Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has denounced India’s continued occupation and human rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir, declaring 27 October as a Black Day in the region’s history.
In a statement issued on Monday, Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that for the past 78 years, India has persistently violated the fundamental human rights of the Kashmiri people. “For nearly eight decades, India has trampled on the rights of Kashmiris, denying them their basic freedoms and suppressing their aspirations for self-determination,” he stated.
Paying tribute to the resilience and courage of Kashmiris, the JUI-F leader said, “Our Kashmiri brothers’ steadfast struggle against Indian aggression is admirable. Despite oppression and injustice, their determination remains unwavering.”
Rehman emphasised that India’s continued brutalities in the region will forever be remembered as one of the darkest chapters in history.
He reaffirmed his party’s commitment to standing by the Kashmiri people, saying, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam will remain stand shoulder to shoulder with Kashmiris in their just struggle for freedom.
The veteran politician expressed optimism that the long fight for self-determination would ultimately succeed. “The sacrifices of the Kashmiri people will not go in vain. Their struggle for liberation will one day bear fruit,” he added.
October 27 is observed annually as Kashmir Black Day to mark the day in 1947 when Indian forces landed in Srinagar, leading to the division and decades-long conflict over the disputed territory.
Human rights organisations and international observers have repeatedly voiced concern over widespread abuses in Indian-illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, particularly after the revocation of its special constitutional status in 2019.
