MIRPUR: Adequate arrangements are being made to observe Jammu Martyrs Day on both sides of the Line of Control (LOC) in Jammu and Kashmir and the rest of the world on 6 November with due solemnity and reverence to commemorate the supreme sacrifices of lives offered by the Muslim inhabitants of Jammu on this historical day, in 1947 while migrating to then newly-born homeland Pakistan.
At least 7 lakh Muslim residents of Jammu city and surroundings were mercilessly killed during a week-long ruthless genocide executed by the Dogra ruler’s force and gangsters besides the armed Hindu fanatics in the first and second week of November 1947.
This year, too, the Jammu Martyrs Day is being observed at the time when the Kashmir freedom movement has reached its climax following the massive continual independence struggle amidst the State-wide anti-India protests by the people of the locked-down and curfew-clamped bleeding Illegally Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
Special Ceremonies in Kashmir
Special ceremonies would be the hallmark of the day to commemorate the historic day of global importance in the history of Jammu and Kashmir’s freedom struggle at both sides of the LoC and the rest of the world, the organizers said on Monday.
Like all previous years, the Martyrs Day will be commemorated with the renewal of the pledge to continue the mission of Kashmiri martyrs to bring the Kashmir independence struggle to its logical end. Kashmiris, by observing the day, will renew the resolve this year to continue the ongoing struggle for freedom of occupied Jammu Kashmir from the Indian clutches till the achievement of the last victory.
