In Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has asked Kashmiris to observe January 26, India’s Republic Day, as a Black Day in protest against India’s illegal occupation and continued suppression of their rights.   

According to Kashmir Media Service, APHC leaders alongside organizations have strongly condemned India’s actions in the occupied territory.

They emphasized that India has no moral or legal justification to celebrate its Republic Day in a disputed region that remains under its oppressive military control.

The APHC leaders highlighted that January 26 brings additional hardships for the people of IIOJK.
