PM’s message on ‘Black Day’
Prime Minister Imran Khan in his message earlier in the day said the Kashmir Black Day being observed in Pakistan and across the world today is distinct from the past.
He said on 27 October 1947, India had illegally occupied Jammu & Kashmir and, on 5 August this year, it took further steps to unilaterally alter the disputed status of the territory and change its demographic structure and identity.
The premier said through deployment of additional troops and an unprecedented media and communications blackout, Indian occupied Kashmir has been turned into the largest prison on the planet. He said Pakistan, the Kashmiris and Muslim Ummah, have categorically rejected this travesty of law and justice.
PM Imran Khan said Pakistan demands the immediate lifting of the curfew and communications blackout as well as rescinding of India’s illegal and unilateral actions in the occupied territory.
