Srinagar: Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and the world over are observing Kashmir Martyrs’ Day, today (Thursday), as the day of renewal of the pledge that they will continue the mission of their martyrs till they achieved their inalienable right to self-determination.
Call for the observance of the day has been given by the joint resistance leadership comprising Syed Ali Gilani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik.
The day is being marked by complete shutdown in the occupied territory. A march will also be conducted towards Naqashband Sahib in Srinagar where martyrs of 1931 are buried.
On the 13th of July 1931, the troops of Dogra Maharaja had killed 22 Kashmiris, one after the other, outside Central Jail in Srinagar during the court proceedings against one Abdul Qadeer who had asked Kashmiri people to defy the Dogra rule.
Thousands of people had gathered outside the court to show their solidarity with Abdul Qadeer.
