Solidarity with Kashmir: A Day to Remember and Reflect:
The observance of Kashmir Solidarity Day serves as a powerful reminder of Pakistan’s firm stance in supporting the Kashmiri people’s right to self-determination. Every year, on February 5th, people across Pakistan, including Sindh, take part in rallies, discussions, and media campaigns to raise awareness about the ongoing struggle of Kashmiris under Indian occupation.
The Sindh Government’s decision to declare a public holiday reflects its commitment to standing with the oppressed Kashmiri brothers and sisters. Citizens are encouraged to utilize this day to participate in solidarity events, educate themselves on the Kashmir issue, and raise their voices on social media platforms using trending hashtags like #KashmirSolidarityDay, #IStandWithKashmir, and #FreeKashmir.
This holiday is not just a break from work but an opportunity to show unity and support for the Kashmiri cause. Let us honor their sacrifices and continue to advocate for their right to freedom and justice.
