MUZAFFARABAD: Thousands of Kashmiris march towards the Line of Control to express solidarity with the Occupied Kashmir brethren.
Hundreds of Kashmiris on the call of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) on Sunday are marching towards the Line of Control (LoC) — the de facto border between Pakistan and India.
The rally billed as “Freedom March” is protesting New Delhi’s move to scrap the special status of Indian occupied Kashmir and the imposition of curfew in the territory since August 05. The march has been organised by JKLF, a group led by pro-independence leader Yasin Malik, who is currently in detention in IoK.
The marchers who gathered in Muzaffarabad, the capital of Azad Kashmir plan to cross the LoC to Srinagar, the capital of Indian occupied Kashmir.
On Saturday, the participants of the march reached Garhi Dupatta, a small town in Muzaffarabad.
A day earlier, Prime Minister Imran Khan had said anyone crossing the LoC from Azad Jammu and Kashmir to provide humanitarian aid or support for the Kashmiri struggle against aggression will play into the hands of the Indian narrative.
