Web Desk(National times)- Kashmiris across the world, including in Pakistan, are observing India’s Independence Day today as a black day. According to the Kashmir Media Service, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference has called upon the brave and resilient Kashmiri people to observe a \u201ccomplete shutdown strike today (August 15)\u201d in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. The APHC stated that the day India celebrates its independence is \u201ca dark reminder for Kashmiris of slavery, forced occupation, and oppression.\u201d \u201cWe observe this day as black day to show the world that the Kashmiri nation cannot be subdued by Indian occupation. The nation is a freedom fighter,\u201d it said. \u201cThe Kashmiri people maintain that they are only demanding their birth right in accordance with UN resolutions, and once again, by observing India\u2019s independence day as black day, they are urging the international community to fulfill its responsibilities.\u201d Following the Hurriyat leaders’ appeal, Indian occupation forces responded with usual oppressive tactics \u2014 conducting raids, arresting dozens of youth, and suspending internet services. Despite this, Kashmiri youth across the valley began putting up black day banners, black flags, and Pakistani flags in many places. Anti-India slogans and pro-freedom graffiti were also seen in various parts of Occupied Kashmir. Meanwhile, Hurriyat leaders observed Pakistan\u2019s Independence Day on August 14 as a \u201cDay of Gratitude\u201d and extended heartfelt congratulations to the people of Pakistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
