The Sindh provincial government has declared February 5 a public holiday in remembrance of Kashmir Day. This day honours the struggles and sacrifices of Kashmiris in the Indian-occupied valley. A formal notification aligns Sindh’s observance with the federal government’s similar declaration.
National Solidarity and Diplomatic Stance
Kashmir Day, observed annually on February 5, symbolizes Pakistan’s solidarity with the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). Islamabad’s consistent call for a plebiscite in the disputed territory underscores the ongoing conflict with India. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s revocation of Article 370 on August 5, 2019, intensified global concern. Pakistan asserts that normalizing ties with India hinges on restoring Kashmir’s special status.
