ISLAMABAD:Kashmiris living on both sides of the Line of Control (LoC) and across the world marked the third anniversary of India’s unlawful action of revoking the special status of occupied Jammu and Kashmir as “Exploitation [of Kashmir] Day” by holding anti-India rallies and demonstrations.
The main event of the day in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) was a public meeting and an emotionally charged rally in state capital Muzaffarabad. Both events were organised by Pasban-e-Hurriyat Jammu Kashmir (PHJK), an organisation of post-1989 migrants from occupied Kashmir led by Uzair Ahmed Ghazali, which has always been at the forefront of anti-India activities in different parts of the liberated territory.
The rally started from Burhan Wani Chowk where a public meeting was held and concluded at the office of the UN Military Observers Group for India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) near Domel, the confluence of rivers Neelum and Jhelum.
From Burhan Wani Chowk to Garhi Pan Chowk — a distance of some 500 metres — AJK Prime Minister Sardar Tanveer Ilyas, his predecessor from the PML-N, Raja Farooq Haider, and some cabinet members were also part of it.
