Srinagar, January 16: In northern disputed state of Kashmir, India’s Republic Day on 26th January will be observed as a Black Day to remind the international community that India has trampled over all democratic norms and recognized standards of justice by continuously denying Kashmiris’ inalienable right to self-determination, reports KMS.
Veteran Kashmiri Hurriyet leader, Syed Ali Gilani, in a statement in
Srinagar today appealed the Kashmiri people to observe complete strike
on this day.
The statement also strongly denounced the life imprisonment awarded
on Saturday by a Delhi court to six people including two Kashmiris in a
false case against them. It said that India after implicating the
Kashmiri youth in concocted cases was victimizing them through its
biased courts.

expressed solidarity with the families of the youth who had been
martyred by Indian police and troops during the past six months. Talking
to the people on the occasion, he said that sacrifices of the Kashmiri
martyrs would not be allowed to go waste.

Kot Bhalwal Jail in Jammu said in a statement that the political
