Mehmood Saghar: DFP urges Kashmiris to observe 15 August as Black day

Islamabad: Acting Chairman Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) Mehmood Ahmed Saghar has extended his heartiest felicitations to the people and the government of Pakistan on their Independence Day.

In a statement issued here on Thursday Saghar while conveying his best wishes for peace and prosperity of Pakistan said, “The struggling people of Jammu and Kashmir are highly grateful to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan for its all out moral, political and diplomatic support to our just and legitimate struggle”.

He expressed the optimism that Pakistan would continue its all out support to Kashmiris’ legitimate struggle till they achieve their cherished goal of right to self determination for which they have offered unprecedented sacrifices.

Meanwhile, in a separate statement a spokesperson of the DFP urged the people of Kashmir to observe Indian Independence Day as Black Day as a mark of protest against India’s forcible occupation of Kashmir. Terming India as usurper he said that the country that has deprived millions of Kashmiris from their fundamental rights and snatched their fundamental freedoms by occupying their motherland has no justification, whatsoever, to observe Independence Day.
