Thousands of Kashmiris including men, women, children and elders are marching on October 5 towards the Line of Control (LoC) on October 7,

-AFPMUZAFFARABAD: Thousands of Kashmiris have joined the march towards Line of Control (LoC) on the call of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation
Front (JKLF).Participants of ‘Freedom March& have reached Garhi Dupatta, a small town in Muzaffarabad, the capital of Azad Jammu and
Kashmir (AJK).More: US Senate asks India to lift curfew, release detainees in IOKThe protest rally has been organised by the JKLF, a group
led by Kashmiri leader Yasin Malik who has been arrested by the Indian forces.Chanting anti-India slogans, the marchers plan to cross the
LoC, a move strongly opposed by PM Imran Khan.On Saturday, the prime minister once again warned the people against crossing the LoC for the
sake of support to the struggle of their fellow brethren in the IoK.A draconian and crippling lockdown is imposed in the region since August
5 when India annexed part of Kashmir occupied by it illegally and divided it into two regions administered by the Union government of New
Delhi against the wishes of the people of the area
The clampdown has entered its third month with reports of mass detentions and human rights abuses while no communication is available for
the nine million innocent Kashmiris.In his tweet, the premier reminded that he understands the anguish of the people of the AJK seeing their
fellow Kashmiris in occupied Kahsmir under an inhumane curfew for over two months
Advising the people not to play into the hands of Indian narrative, he said any attempt to cross the LoC to provide humanitarian aid or
support &will give India an excuse to increase violent oppression of Kashmiris in IOJK - attack across LoC&.TheIndianSubcontinent has not
