THE beginning of the year marks the observation of Kashmir Solidarity Day on February 5. It pays tribute to a solemn oath to the Kashmiri brethren's in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJ&K) in their quest for attaining their Rights of Freedom and Self determination from the Indian occupied forces.

India to this date has resorted to the worst state terrorism and it continues its illegal hold on Jammu and Kashmir. The Indian troops and police personnel enjoy unbridled powers under draconian laws and have committed war crimes with impunity in the occupied territory to suppress the Kashmiris' just struggle for securing their inalienable right to self-determination. The Indian forces have martyred 95,925 innocent Kashmiris including 7,215 in custody from January 1989 till December 10, 2021. It said that these killings rendered 22,939 women widowed and 107,855 children orphaned. The report said that the troops molested or disgraced 11,246 women and damaged 110,445 residential houses and other structures.
