India has kept bulk part of the internationally-acknowledged disputed Himalayan state in its illegal and forcible occupation against the aspirations of the people of the state.
This year, the Kashmir Solidarity Day was being observed in most tragic scenario that was followed by August 05, last year sinister act of scrapping special status of the IOJ&K by the hardliner Modi-led Indian government through abrogation of the article 370 and 35-A of the Indian constitution.
The bleeding occupied valley has been turned into the world’s largest prison following imprisonment of the people protesting against the nefarious Indian action under the shadow of the occupying Indian guns. It would be a state holiday across the AJK.

The day will dawn with special prayers for the martyrs of Kashmir, victory of the freedom struggle and expression of solidarity with the Kashmiri people. Besides mass rallies, symposia, walk-for-peace, conventions meetings and speech declamations, a unique ceremony at all the six bridges, linking Pakistan and AJK—where a human chain comprising Pakistanis and Kashmiris to convey solidarity with each other, will be the hallmark of the day-long events everywhere to observe the day.
