Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and world over are observing the Indian Independence Day on Monday, as Black Day in protest against New Delhi’s illegal occupation of their homeland.

The day is marked by a complete shutdown and civil curfew in occupied territory and black flags are hoisted everywhere in the occupied territory.

The Kashmiris across the world are holding anti-India demonstrations to draw world’s attention towards the Indian brutalities in IIOJK.

The All Parties Hurriyat Conference leaders including Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Shabbir Ahmad Shah in their statements said India has no right to celebrate its Independence Day in IIOJK as it is holding the territory against the will of the Kashmiri people.

Meanwhile, curfew-like restrictions have been imposed in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir in the name of security measures on India’s Independence Day, today, making daily life of the people a hell.

Indian troops, paramilitary and police personnel have been deployed in strength in every nook and corner of the territory, subjecting the people to immense discomfort.
