JKUF to observe Oct 22 as ‘Black Day’ to condemn Pak attack on J&K in 1947

Radicalization of youth has to be tackled at war footing: Jamwal

JAMMU: The Jammu & Kashmir Unity Foundation will be observing Black Day on October 22, 2017 to remember the sacrifices of lakhs of Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims of Jammu & Kashmir to defeat the invasion of the State spearheaded by Pakistan Army in 1947, erroneously described as tribal invasion.
A Seminar titled “Pakistan’s Military Invasion not Tribal Raid of Jammu & Kashmir” will be organized on October 22, 2017.
Talking to media persons here today, Ajaat Jamwal, President, JKUF, alongwith Advocate Ankur Sharma and Dr. Hari Dutt Shishu said that Tribals from Pakistan only constituted the front flank of the invasion to disguise the role of Pakistan Army.
He said that the entire mobilization of Tribals and army was done in the name of Jihad, adding, it will be very proper to describe the 1947 invasion of Jammu & Kashmir by Pakistan as the first Jihad unleashed after the Independence of India on 15 August, 1947.
“The Jihad is continuing even now in the State as the new Islamist terrorists pushed in, indoctrinated, financed and armed by Pakistan, are continuing with their mission of separating Jammu & Kashmir from India,” Jamwal added.
Advocate Ankur Sharma said it is unfortunate that Government of India is still reluctant to recognize the violence unleashed in the State by Pakistan and its flanks as Jihad.
Dr. Hari Dutt Shishu said, “The settlement of illegal Myanmar nationals poses a great danger of becoming new nurseries for radical Islamist terrorism in the State,” the JKUF said, adding, “We appeal to Government of India to identify and deport these illegal immigrants from the State.”
Among those also present on the occasion were Sanjay Gupta, Pushvinder Singh, Vikram Chib, Zeeshan Kazmi and Neeraj Sharma.
