Kashmiris Reject Indian Actions: August 5 Marked as a Black Day Once Again

Kashmiris Reject Indian Actions: August 5 Marked as a Black Day Once Again

The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has called for a complete strike in Indian-occupied Kashmir on August 5, a day widely recognised by Kashmiris as one of the darkest in their history. The strike is intended to send a clear message to the world: the people of Kashmir completely reject the illegal and unilateral actions taken by India on August 5, 2019.

According to Kashmir Media Service, the Hurriyat leadership has emphasised that this day symbolizes India's blatant violation of international laws and its attempts to forcibly change the identity and status of Jammu and Kashmir. The people of Kashmir, however, remain firm in their resistance.

A Day of Betrayal and Resistance

August 5, 2019, was the day when the Indian government revoked Article 370, stripping occupied Kashmir of its special status — a move made without the consent of the Kashmiri people. Since then, thousands have been arrested, fundamental rights have been suspended, and a continuous military siege has silenced the valley. Despite all this, the spirit of the Kashmiri people remains unbroken.

The Hurriyat Conference has described August 5 as a "Black Day" and called for unity among Kashmiris to peacefully resist India's occupation. Posters have been displayed across Srinagar and other towns in the valley, calling for:

• The reversal of India’s illegal 2019 actions

• The release of all political prisoners

• A resolution of the Kashmir issue according to UN resolutions

Pakistan Stands with Kashmir

Prime Minister of Pakistan, in his statement, reminded the world that February 5 (Kashmir Solidarity Day) and August 5 (the day of the Indian constitutional betrayal) are both important markers of the international community’s failure to act — and a reminder that Kashmir cannot be made a part of India through force or illegal legislation.

Pakistan continues to stand firmly with the people of Kashmir — diplomatically, morally, and politically — until their legitimate right to self-determination is granted.

Conclusion:
August 5 is not just a date — it is a reminder of injustice, occupation, and the unshakable will of the Kashmiri people. No matter how much oppression is imposed, the dream of Azadi (freedom) remains alive in every heart in Kashmir. The world must listen, and the United Nations must act — because silence is complicity.

One generation of Kashmiris has been handing over the torch of freedom to the next generation. Allah Almighty has blessed the land of Kashmir with natural beauty and resources. Today, tomorrow or for a short period of time, you can commit atrocities in occupied Kashmir, but not forever.

Kashmir will one day be a part of Pakistan according to the will and destiny of the Kashmiri people. Any aggression will be responded to with full force.

Poetry on Kashmir Freedom Movement

خاکِ کشمیر ہے گواہ، لہو ہمارا ہے

 ظلم کی زنجیروں سے، عزم ہمارا ہے

Khaak-e-Kashmir hai gawah, lahu hamara hai

Zulm ki zanjeeron se, azm hamara hai

Translation: The soil of Kashmir is witness, our blood is (spilled here)

 From the chains of oppression, our resolve is (unbroken).

کب تک یہ خاموشی، کب تک یہ زنداں

 آزاد کشمیر کی، کب ہوگی سحر

Kab tak yeh khamoshi, kab tak yeh zindaan

Azaad Kashmir ki, kab hogi sehar

Translation: How long this silence, how long this prison?

When will the dawn of a free Kashmir arrive?

جانیں قربان کیں، اس وادی کے لیے

 آزادی کی خاطر، ہر دم تیار ہیں ہم

Jaanen qurban keen, is waadi ke liye

Azaadi ki khatir, har dam tayyar hain hum

Translation: Lives have been sacrificed,

for this valley For the sake of freedom, we are always ready.

ایک ہیں ہم، ایک ہیں ہمارا نعرہ

 کشمیر کی آزادی، ہے سب کا سہارا

Ek hain hum, ek hai hamara naara 

Kashmir ki azadi, hai sab ka sahara

Translation: We are one, our slogan is one

The freedom of Kashmir, is everyone's support.

Jihad e Zindagi hai in se Kashmir ki Azadi

 یقین محکم، عمل پیہم، محبت فاتحِ عالم

 جہادِ زندگی ہے ان سے، کشمیر کی آزادی

Yaqeen-e-muhkam, amal-e-paiham, mohabbat fatih-e-alam

Jihad-e-zindagi hai in se, Kashmir ki azadi

This couplet, though not exclusively about Kashmir, speaks to the spirit of the struggle. It translates roughly as:

Firm belief, continuous action, love conquers the world The struggle of life is through these, the freedom of Kashmir.

5th February 2025: A Day of Solidarity with Kashmir

Kashmir Day is a day of solidarity with the Kashmiri people, who have been struggling for their right to self-determination for over seven decades. On this day, Pakistanis and Kashmiris all over the world come together to express their support for the Kashmiri cause.

The people of Kashmir have been facing immense hardships and oppression at the hands of the Indian government. They have been denied their basic human rights, including the right to freedom of speech, expression, and assembly. The Indian government has also imposed a brutal military occupation on the region, which has led to the deaths of thousands of innocent Kashmiris.

Despite the immense challenges they face, the Kashmiri people have not given up on their struggle for freedom. They continue to resist the Indian occupation and demand their right to self-determination.

Kashmir Day is an important reminder of the Kashmiri people's struggle for freedom. It is a day for us to show our support for their cause and to call on the international community to take action to end the Indian occupation of Kashmir.

We must not forget the Kashmiri people and their struggle for freedom. We must continue to raise our voices in support of their cause and demand that the Indian government respect their basic human rights.

Here are some ways you can show your support for the Kashmiri people on Kashmir Day:

• Attend a rally or protest in support of Kashmir.
• Share information about the Kashmiri struggle on social media.
• Contact your elected officials and urge them to take action on Kashmir.
• Donate to organizations that are working to support the Kashmiri people.

Together, we can make a difference for the people of Kashmir.
