The government of Pakistan has announced to observe ‘Kashmir Solidarity Day’ on July 19 against Indian atrocities in Indian-held Kashmir (IHK).
According to a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s House, July 19 would now be a ‘Kashmir Solidarity Day’ instead of a ‘Black Day’ in support of the Kashmir’s decades-old freedom fight as decided by the federal cabinet meeting on Friday.
Giving a new date for observing ‘Black Day’, the statement said, it would now be observed on July 20 across the country.
Adviser to Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs, Sartaj Aziz, has written a letter to international organisations and leaders, asking them to take notice of the unrest in divided Kashmir.
So far, clashes between Indian security personnel and stone-pelting demonstrators have taken lives of at least 38 innocent Kashmiris during eight days of unrest in the troubled valley.
