Black Day|Every year, on October 27th

Every year, on October 27th, the world commemorates a somber occasion - Black Day. It was on this day in 1947 that Indian forces entered Srinagar, the capital of Jammu and Kashmir, against the will of its people. This event ignited a long-standing conflict, and today, the region remains mired in turmoil.
Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir IIOJK's suffering began in 1947 when Indian troops first set foot in the region, and it has persisted through the decades. Recent events, especially the revocation of Articles 370 and 35-A, have exacerbated the situation. This decision stripped the region of its autonomy and privileges, intensifying tensions and hardships for its inhabitants.
In recent years, the situation in Kashmir has deteriorated further. The region, once known as "paradise on earth," has witnessed a drastic decline in tourism, economic opportunities, and access to education. Schools remain closed, and students grapple with psychological trauma. Businesses have suffered, and homes are being demolished, leaving the people of Kashmir living in uncertainty and fear.
Pakistan has been an unwavering advocate for the Kashmir cause from the very beginning. By observing Kashmir Black Day on October 27 each year, Pakistan reaffirms its resolute support for Kashmir's freedom. It sends a clear message to the world that the Kashmiri people will never surrender and will continue their struggle for the right to self-determination, despite India's draconian laws and ruthless tactics.
The suffering of the Kashmiri people demands international attention and intervention. It is a humanitarian crisis that cannot be ignored. The world must stand with the Kashmiris in their quest for peace, justice, and the right to self- determination. Only through a peaceful resolution can the region find relief from decades of suffering, and the Kashmiri people rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.
As we mark Black Day each year, let us reflect on the past and recommit ourselves to working toward a brighter and more peaceful future for the people of Kashmir.
