Kashmir Solidarity Day (5th February)

Kashmir Solidarity Day (Urdu: یوم یکجہتی کشمیر), or Kashmir Day, is a national holiday in Pakistan and also observed by Kashmiri separatists on 5 February each year. Kashmir Day was first proposed by Qazi Hussain Ahmad of the Jamaat-e-Islami party in Pakistan in 1990. The present Kashmir Solidarity Day was started by the Pakistan minister of Kashmir Affairs and Northern Areas in 2004.

The masses participate in peaceful rallies and demonstrations, hold seminars and conduct solidarity walks reassuring the people of Kashmir that all Pakistanis support their rightful demand of freedom and ending repressive occupation of Kashmir by Indian Security Forces.

Pursue International media to highlight the following aspects

  • Expose atrocities against Kashmiri people in the hands of Indian forces and show complete solidarity with the Kashmiris in their fight for self-determination and struggle for freedom.
  • Stress that long out standing unresolved Kashmir issue is the root cause of regional instability, which must be resolved on priority
  • Raise voice to make India realize that Kashmiri demand for rights of self-determination being just, cannot be suppressed for ever.
  • Project that human rights violations by Indian Security Forces are very sinister and widely condemned by all peace loving people and so is the case of Pakistan.
