KC-EU to Mark India’s Independence Day as ‘Black Day’ with Brussels Protest

Brussels: The Kashmiri Council Europe (KC-EU) is set to hold a demonstration in front of the Indian Embassy in Brussels on August 15, coinciding with Indian Independence Day, to protest and mark the day as a “Black Day.”

According to Kashmir Media Service, the observance of “Black Day” on August 15 is a longstanding tradition among Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and globally, reflecting their dissent against Indian rule in occupied Kashmir. The KC-EU has extended invitations to various political and social organizations, as well as other groups supportive of the Kashmiri cause, to join the demonstration. KC-EU Chairman Ali Raza Syed emphasized that the protest aims to highlight the ongoing grievances of Kashmiris under Indian authority and to voice opposition to the atrocities they face.
