Incarcerated Chairman of All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Masarrat Aalam Butt, has thanked the people of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Kashmiri Diaspora for observing October 27 as Black Day and organizing peaceful protest rallies against the illegal Indian military invasion of Kashmir on that day in 1947.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Masarrat Aalam Butt in a message sent from New Delhi’s Tihar Jail and released in Srinagar said that by observing the Black Day, the people in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and the Kashmiri Diaspora reiterated their pledge to never accept India’s forcible occupation of their motherland and to resist its military aggression at all costs.
He said that the observance of the Black Day by the Kashmiris must serve as an eye-opener for New Delhi and it must respect their sentiments and give them their inalienable right to self-determination.
Meanwhile, the occupation authorities kept senior APHC leader, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, under house arrest and once again disallowed him to offer Juma prayers at Jamia Masjid, Srinagar. He has been under continued house detention since August 05, 2019.
