What is Kashmir Day and why is it observed in Pakistan ?

Pakistan observe the Kashmir Solidarity Day on Feb 5 every year to reassure our Kashmiri brethren of our political, moral and diplomatic support towards their just cause for the right of self-determination as enshrined in the UN Charter and the relevant UN resolutions.

Pakistan asked the international community to take cognizance of atrocities being inflicted upon innocent men, women and children by Indian forces in occupied Kashmir.

They had been denied their right to self-determination despite UN resolutions.

The Kashmir Solidarity Day was first notified as a national holiday in 1990 by the PPP government.

The Kashmir Solidarity Day is observed across Pakistan to express solidarity with the people of occupied Kashmir in their struggle for the right of self-determination.

Pakistan recognize sacrifices of those Kashmiris who were martyred in their struggle for self-determination and call for holding plebiscite in Jammu and Kashmir in accordance with resolutions of the UN Security Council.

Around 700,000 Indian soldiers have failed to break the spirit of Kashmiris who were striving for their right of self-determination.

Chairman of the Special Committee of Parliament on Kashmir, Maulana Fazlur Rahman, and other members of the committee said in one of a recent addresses that UN sanctions should be imposed on India for flouting the world body's resolutions by not holding plebiscite in occupied Kashmir.
