MIRPUR (Kashmir English): Advisor to Azad Jammu and Kashmir President Barrister Sultan Mahmood Chaudhry for Overseas Kashmiris, Muhammad Aslam Mughal has said that Jammu Kashmir people living on both sides of the LoC and rest of the world will observe the day of August 5 as black day to mark six years of India’s unconstitutional move of scrapping special status of the occupied Kashmir.
India had, on this day in 2019, scrapped special status of the internationally-disputed Indian Illegally occupied Jammu Kashmir state.
“Kashmiris all over the world will observe this day as a black day by holding extraordinary protests against India and exposing India’s unconstitutional and terrible face to the whole world denying Kashmiris their birth right to self-determination for the last 78 years,” Mughal said while addressing a news Conference at Kashmir Press Club here on Wednesday.
AJK President’s Advisor while lauding the exceptional bravery of the valiant armed forces of Pakistan, said that Pakistan Army, under the dynamic leadership of the great commander of the Islamic world, Field Marshal Asim Munir, crushed the arrogance of India and Modi and made Pakistanis and Kashmiris proud the world over.
He said Pakistan imposed a convincing defeat on India in response to unprovoked aggression in May this year.
Aslam Mughal said overseas Kashmiris have always played an important role in highlighting the significance of the Kashmir freedom movement, the Kashmir issue and Indian state terrorism followed by atrocities in Indian Illegally occupied Jammu Kashmir, across the globe and will not hesitate to make any sacrifice to fulfill this national duty in the future as well.
The overseas Kashmiri leader said, “Pakistan is the strong nuclear fortress of the Islamic world and its army stands invincible.
He said that the overseas Kashmiris always emerged as a backbone of the Pakistan’s economy. More than 1.8 million overseas Kashmiris abroad belong to Mirpur division, he said.
“Therefore, the government of Pakistan should start work on the project of an international airport in Mirpur as soon as possible.”

The Advisor to the President also reviewed the renovation and development work of Kashmir Press Club Mirpur
Mughal said that Kashmir Press Club Mirpur is a very dynamic and active press club of Azad Kashmir, which is visited by a large number of overseas Kashmiris from all over the world.
