He further stated that the observance of Black Day aimed to draw the world’s attention to the injustices being committed in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) and to reaffirm Pakistan’s unwavering support for the Kashmiris’ right to self-determination.
He reiterated that the people of Pakistan stood shoulder to shoulder with the Kashmiri nation and would continue their political, moral, and diplomatic support until the just cause of freedom is achieved.
