 Pakistan Urges Global Action for Kashmir Resolution on Kashmir Black Day

ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif have called on the international community to take concrete measures for the resolution of the longstanding Jammu and Kashmir dispute in line with UN Security Council resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.

In their separate messages marking Kashmir Black Day—observed annually on October 27, the day Indian forces entered Srinagar in 1947—both leaders reaffirmed Pakistan’s unwavering support for the Kashmiri cause.

President Zardari urged the United Nations, global human rights organisations, and the international community to hold India accountable for its grave and systematic human rights violations in Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

He emphasised that lasting peace and stability in South Asia depend on a just and durable settlement of the dispute. “Pakistan will continue to extend its moral, diplomatic, and political support to the Kashmiri people in their struggle for justice, peace, and self-determination,” he said.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif echoed similar sentiments, describing October 27 as “the darkest day in the history of Kashmir.” He noted that India continues to deny the Kashmiri people their right to self-determination, as recognised by numerous UN resolutions.

“For nearly eight decades, the people of Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir have faced immense hardship and oppression. We salute their resilience and courage in the face of tyranny,” the prime minister said, adding that India’s actions since August 5, 2019—aimed at changing the region’s demography and political status—had further deepened the crisis.

Meanwhile, Senate Chairman Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani described October 27, 1947, as a “dark chapter in history” when India forcibly occupied Jammu and Kashmir in violation of international law and human rights.

Federal Minister for Kashmir Affairs Amir Muqam also condemned Indian atrocities and reaffirmed Pakistan’s steadfast support for the Kashmiris’ right to self-determination.

PPP Senator Sherry Rehman termed October 27, 1947, as one of the darkest chapters in South Asian history, reiterating that the struggle of the Kashmiri people would continue to inspire generations.
