In occupied Kashmir, Hurriyat leadership including Syed Ali Gilani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and others have appealed to the people of the territory to observe complete shutdown tomorrow to reaffirm the pledge to continue the mission of their martyrs till the achievement of the inalienable right to self-determination.

It may be recalled that on the 13th of July 1931, the troops of Dogra Maharaja had killed 22 Kashmiris outside Central Jail in Srinagar during the court proceedings against Abdul Qadeer, who had asked Kashmiri people to defy the Dogra rule. 

Since then, Kashmiris have been observing 13th July as Kashmir Martyrs' Day.
