Islamabad: Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) on Thursday marked ‘Kashmir Day’ at its Azad Kashmir Mirpur Campus, to show its solidarity with the oppressed people of the occupied territory.
Initially, the University had planned to hold an Open Day to promote its ongoing admissions’ campaign, but it turned it into a ‘Kashmir Day’, in view of the prevailing heart-rendering situation in Indian-held Valley.
The event, presided over a Kashmiri national and British Counsellor Mrs. Fozia Zameer, was largely attended by the students and academicians of the region.
The students presented Kashmiri songs, Tableau and speeches, illustrating the freedom struggle and the brutalities being perpetuated upon the Kashmiri people by the Modi’s government. There were also quiz and poetry competitions on the Kashmir issue.
