Pakistan marks August 5 as Youm-e-Istehsal-e-Kashmir

Fifth of August is the fifth anniversary of India’s revocation of the special status of the disputed territory of the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). Pakistan observes this very day as Youm-e-Istehsal-e-Kashmir i.e. In 1947 the All Jammu and Kashmir Muslim Conference (MC) in Abi Guzar, Srinagar adopted the historical resolution with 59 prominent leaders in attendance. The resolution unanimously adopted indicated that the aspirations of millions of Kashmiri Muslims warrant accession of the state of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) to Pakistan. During the partition of the sub-continent, the people of the state of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), which comprised the Muslim majority, decided to join Pakistan.
