SRINAGAR: In anticipation of India’s Republic Day on January 26, posters distributed by the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) and other pro-freedom organizations in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) have called upon the people to observe the day as a Black Day.
The posters emphasize the absence of legal or moral justification for India to celebrate Republic Day in the region, considering its illegal occupation against the will of the Kashmiri people.

Describing the celebrations in the territory as a cruel joke, the posters urge Kashmiris to boycott official Indian events, observe a strike, hoist black flags, and convey the message that January 26 is a Black Day for them.
The posters also encourage the people to hold special prayers on the anniversaries of the massacres of Handwara (January 25) and Kupwara (January 27), emphasizing the historical significance of these events in the struggle for Kashmiri rights.
