As India is celebrating the second anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370 of Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistani President Arif Alvi has slammed Delhi for what he described as attempts at "forced demographic change".
In a series of tweets on Thursday, President Alvi said that "India, despite its heinous attempts at forced demographic change & erasing the unique identity of Kashmiris, has failed."
“It will continue to fail in denting the legitimate struggle of Kashmiris for rights as it has in past 74 yrs,” he said in one of his tweets.
On 5 August, 2019, the Indian Parliament made Jammu and Kashmir state a federally administered territory of the country and made its Ladakh region a separate Union Territory.
Pakistan is set to observe "Youm-e-Istehsal" on Thursday to express solidarity with the Kashmiri people on the two-year anniversary of the revocation of the special constitutional status of Jammu and Kashmir.
A host of events have been arranged in order to denounce India's unilateral actions against the Kashmiri people.
President Alvi will also lead a solidarity march in Islamabad. Similar events will be organised in other big cities too.
The participants of the march will wear black armbands and carry the flags of Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. A moment of silence is to be observed across the country.
On this occasion, the Pakistan Army also tweeted against the scrapping of Article 370 through its media wing Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
Despite criticism from Pakistan, a lot of Twitter users in India are lauding the abrogation of Article 370.
