MIRPUR, Oct 23 (APP):Azad Jammu Kashmir (AJK) is set to celebrate its 78th founding anniversary on October 24, with events across the liberated territory. The day marks the establishment of the AJK government in 1947, after locals freed the area from Indian-backed Dogra rule.

The anniversary will highlight the Kashmir freedom movement, with speakers reiterating support for Kashmiris in Indian-occupied Kashmir.

Similar ceremonies will take place in other AJK districts, with prayers for Kashmir’s freedom and prosperity.

Through these events, Kashmiris will reaffirm their commitment to the freedom struggle, demanding an end to Indian atrocities.
