PESHAWAR - Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Culture and Tourism Authority (KPCTA) marked the Kashmir Black Day to apprise the world of the Indian forces’ atrocities on the innocent Kashmiris in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) here at Nishtar Hall on Wednesday. 

The KPCTA arranged a photo exhibition depicting pictures of innocent Kashmiri women and children killed and maimed by the Indian forces in Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. 

Besides KPCTA Director Yousaf Ali, General Manager Tourism Sajjad Hameed and others, a large number of students of various educational institutions attended the event. 

“We are observing Kashmir Black Day to condemn Indian illegal occupation of the valley and to reiterate our unwavering support to the Kashmiri people struggling for their right to self-determination,” Yousaf said while speaking on the occasion. 

He said that Indian held Kashmir was integral part of Pakistan and the day was not far when Kashmiris would be able to break the shackles of subjugation and join Pakistan. 

The official said the ongoing barbarism of Indian forces against the Kashmiri people cannot be concealed anymore from the eyes of international community and soon the oppressed Kashmiris would get their right to self-determination. 

The students also organised a walk in support of Kashmiri people besides arranging photo exhibition and tableaus to expose the Indian state terrorism in the occupied Kashmir. 

Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and across the globe also observed Black Day to convey to the world that India has occupied their motherland illegally and against their aspirations.
