SRINAGAR | 27 OCTOBER 1947

Pakistan-backed tribal raiders were closing in on Srinagar.

Then Indian soldiers landed at the airfield, entered battle and helped stop the advance.

That day became a defining moment in Kashmir’s history.

CELEBRATING DAY OF KASHMIR's ACCESSION WITH INDIA AT LINE OF CONTROL (LOC):

Dear Friends,

This is a live photo of me with smiling Indian Pahari Muslim kids of "Seemari" village - "the last village of India" on the Line of Control (LoC) that divides Pakistan Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (PoJK) from India's UT of J&K.

The Seemari village lies on the banks of Kishan Ganga river (also known as Neelum river) in Karnah Valley of KUPWARA district of North Kashmir part of India's Kashmir Valley.

Today also happens to be "KASHMIR ACCESSION DAY" as it was on this day on October 26, 1947 that
Maharaja Hari Singh, the then ruler of the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir, signed the "Instrument of Accession" with the newly independent Union of India.

The document legally ceded the entire princely state of Jammu and Kashmir to the Dominion of India amidst illegal Pashtun tribal invasions ordered by Pakistan's first Prime Minister Liaqat Ali Khan to illegally annex the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir with Pakistan. The accession became effective the next day on October 27, 1947 paving the way for the Indian Airforce to land in Srinagar and push back Pakistani Pashtun tribal invaders.

Unfortunately, Pakistan still illegally occupies two distinct enclaves of the former princely state of Jammu and Kashmir, namely - PoJK and PoGB.

Smile on the faces of these proud Indian Pahari Muslim kids is in stark contrast to their Pahari Muslim cousins from Pakistan Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, who continue to face brutal violence and daily gunfire from Pakistani Paramilitary forces stationed by the state of Pakistan to crush rebellion by Kashmiris of PoJK.

Inshallah, the LoC will soon cease to exist and entire Pakistan occupied territories of PoJK and PoGB will once again merge back with Indian UTs of J&K and Ladakh, respectively.

Jai Hind Jai Bharat 🙏

October 1947. Baramulla, Kashmir.

Pakistan-backed tribal raiders attacked St. Joseph's Mission Hospital, killing nuns and other civilians.

These were people who had dedicated their lives to caring for Kashmir's sick and poor.

22 OCT 1947 — KASHMIR'S BLACK DAY!

Pak-backed tribal raiders attacked Muzaffarabad & Domel,leaving killings,looting & destruction behind. Hindus & Sikhs were among the victims.

This was an invasion,not liberation.

A 200-year-old Hindu temple in Pakistan has been sealed after an attempt to demolish it for a commercial plaza.

Religious minorities are now demanding its restoration.

Even the places of worship are not safe in radical state Pakistan!

“90% of Lahore was Hindu property. We threw them out and grabbed it.”

A chilling claim that lays bare the brutality of religious extremism in Pakistan.

[Sonika Gupta @SonikaGupta__]

Pakistan was created as a homeland for Muslims. Yet Ahmadi children are reportedly being expelled from school simply because of their faith.

A notice allegedly cites “Qadianiat Religion” as the reason.

Since when did a child's religion become grounds for denying education?

Pakistan: A Sikh girl forcibly converted to Islam and soon push into Nikah slavery or sexual abuse..

MUSHARRAF HAD ALL THE POWER, BUT COULDN'T PROTECT BENAZIR!

Musharraf made a deal for Benazir Bhutto's return in 2007.

She came back in October. By December, she was assassinated..

Power grabs began early in 🇵🇰

A foiled coup plot in 1951,Liaquat Ali Khan's assassination & Ayub Khan's takeover in 1958

Elected leaders struggled to hold office while men in uniform repeatedly took charge.

People across several cities of KP are taking to the streets against Governor’s Rule.

27 years after Musharraf’s 1999 coup, Pakistan is once again facing protests over military influence in politics.

BOYS ALLEGEDLY TRAFFICKED FOR SEXUAL ABUSE IN PAKISTAN!

Children exploited, predators hiding behind religion, and victims left without protection.

No religion justifies abusing children. No excuse protects a predator.

PAKISTAN’S YEMEN GAMBLE MAY HAVE CLAIMED ITS FIRST CASUALTY.

Reports say a Pakistani military adviser was killed in a Houthi attack in Taiz.

Pakistan is battling terrorism at home and tensions on its borders — yet its military is getting dragged into Yemen.

Pakistan’s situation has deteriorated badly under its military-dominated establishment.

Terror attacks are rising. The economy remains under pressure. Political tensions are boiling. Public anger is growing.

KP’S SECURITY CRISIS DEEPENS

TTP attacks continue, with reports of militants running temporary checkpoints and extorting locals.

Meanwhile, senior Pak Army officers stay busy with PR & photo-ops as soldiers and police face deadly attacks

Afghan social-media sources claim Taliban forces moving from Kandahar toward Spin Boldak near Pak border.

Pakistan once celebrated Taliban takeover as a strategic victory.

Now Islamabad watches that same border heat up against it. Some “strategic depth”
