As Indian forces further tightened the strict clampdown in held Kashmir ahead of its independence day
Pakistan and on both sides of the Line of Control, observed the Indian Independence Day as a black day to register a strong protest against the continued forced illegal occupation of a large part of the Jammu and Kashmir State by India.
Pakistan expressed solidarity with the people of the disputed territory in the wake of the humanitarian crisis that has developed there following 10 consecutive days of curfew and communications blockade.
The decision to mark India’s independence day as black day was taken at the National Security Commitee meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Imran Khan.
