Pakistan to Observe Youm-i-Istehsal on Monday in Show of Solidarity with Kashmir – Startup Pakistan

The federal government of Pakistan has declared that August 5 will be observed as Youm-i-Istehsal. This day will mark the fifth anniversary of India’s revocation of the special autonomy status of Kashmir.

Youm-i-Istehsal is meant to remember and highlight the significant change that occurred on August 5, 2019, when the Indian government revoked Article 370 of its constitution.

This article had granted special autonomy to the region of Jammu and Kashmir. The removal of this special status has had a profound impact on the region and its people, leading to various political and social changes.

By observing Youm-i-Istehsal, Pakistan aims to draw attention to the situation in Kashmir and express solidarity with the Kashmiri people. The day will likely involve various activities and events designed to raise awareness about the issues faced by the people in Kashmir since the revocation of their special status.

This annual observance serves as a reminder of the ongoing disputes and challenges in the region and underscores Pakistan’s stance on the matter.
