Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and the world over will observe the Jammu Martyrs’ Day on Saturday to reaffirm the resolve to continue the martyrs’ mission till the realization of their inalienable right to self-determination.

Hundreds of thousands of Kashmiris were massacred by the forces of Maharaja Hari Singh, Indian army and Hindu extremists in different parts of Jammu region while they were migrating to Pakistan during the first week of November in 1947.

Hurriyat leaders and organizations in their statements while paying tributes to the Jammu martyrs said that their blood would not go waste.

Meanwhile, Indian troops continued violent cordon and search operations in different areas of Shopian, Baramulla, Pulwama, Rajouri and Poonch districts.

On the other hand, deployment of 50 more Indian paramilitary companies in the occupied territory continued to draw flak from across the political aisle in the territory.

Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party and Jammu and Kashmir National Front in their statements issued in Srinagar said that massive concentration of Indian troops has been the main reason behind the continued bloodshed in the Held territory.
