Kashmiris across the world and particularly on both sides of the Line of Control are observing the “Jammu Martyrs’ Day” on Friday.
The day is observed with renewed pledge to stop and fight against the continuous and severe human right violations by the Indian government and Indian Army.
Indian forces and Hindu extremists in connivance with Maharaja Hari Singh had massacred hundreds of thousands innocent Kashmiris and injured and disabled even more in different parts of Jammu region while they were migrating to Pakistan during the first week of November in 1947.
The All Parties Hurriyat Conference and other Hurriyat leaders and organizations in their separate statements hailed the great sacrifices of the martyrs.
APHC spokesman in a statement in Srinagar termed the 6th November 1947 tragedy as the worst kind of genocide in human history.
He appealed people to arrange prayer meetings in their respective localities and pay tributes to those innocent Muslims who were brutally murdered, regardless of age and gender, by goons associated with various Hindu communal and fascist forces.
The spokesman said that under a well-planned strategy, thousands of Muslims were taken away from their locations and killed in cold blood and several Muslim women were raped and molested.
In Azad Jammu and Kashmir, the day was dawned with special prayers for the martyrs of Kashmir liberation struggle, early liberation of Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and integrity and prosperity of Pakistan.
Quran Khawani and Fateha Khawani is being held at various places for the souls of martyrs of Jammu and Kashmir.
