22 Oct, a Black Day in #Kashmir’s History.

On 22 Oct 5,000 Kabaili tribesmen backed by #Pakistan army stormed Muzaffarabad and scattered 500-strong #Kashmir state army who had already suffered defections by its soldiers.

Flushed with victory, the #Pakistan's tribesmen got down to wanton looting and arson.
They plundered the state armoury, set entire markets on fire and looted their goods.

They indiscriminately shot poor #Kashmiris at will who couldn't recite the Kalma. Many women were enslaved, while many others jumped in the river to escape capture.

The streets were littered with signs of mayhem - broken buildings, broken shop furniture, the ashes of burnt goods and dead bodies, including those of state soldiers,local men and women.There were also bodies floating in the river. #Kashmir #BlackDay #PakistanArmyExposed

From here, these barbaric looters drove in trucks down the Jhelum river, moving past #Uri and reaching #Baramulla where another round of looting and arson ensued.

The raiders spent about three days in Muzaffarabad area, looting, killing & rampaging before their mayhem was stopped by the #IndianArmy.

The invasion not only traumatised a previously well-settled and peaceful #Kashmiri society, it also set a disastrous pattern for #India-#Pakistan relation.

Maj Gen Akbar Khan of #PakistanArmy, played a pivotal role in starting the invasion, he was the architect of the philosophy of armed insurrection by aiding non-state actors as state proxies.

#Pakistan repeated this strategy in #Kashmir in 1965, during the Kashmir insurgency of 1988-2003, as well as in the Kargil War of 1999. It also used non-state actors in Afghanistan, but every time faced humiliating defeat at the hands on #IndianArmy.

Pakistan through its ill acts has brought misery to #Kashmir and its people over last 73 years starting with 22 Oct The Black Day in History of Kashmir. The world needs to recognise this and penalise #PakistanTerroristState.
