The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has urged Kashmiris to observe October 27 as a Black Day to record their protest against the 1947 Indian military intervention in occupied Jammu and Kashmir against the will of the Kashmiri people.

The APHC cites this date as the beginning of India’s brutal occupation of the territory, a move violated the Partition Plan and disregarded the Kashmiri people’s aspirations.

APHC General Secretary Moulvi Bashir Ahmed Irfani in a statement in Srinagar reiterated the Kashmiri people’s commitment to their struggle for self-determination.
