Muzaffarabad (PoK)/ Tokyo (Japan)/ Kathmandu (Nepal)/Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Oct 22 (ANI): Protests across illegally occupied PoK and other prominent cities around the world marked 22nd October as Black Day. This day is observed as Black Day by Kashmiris all around the globe as it was on this day in 1947 when Pakistani tribal militias invaded a portion of Kashmir. The then Kashmiri ruler Maharaja Hari Singh signed Instrument of accession with New Delhi, acceding legally to the sovereign land of India. Pakistan however never vacated the place and continues to occupy it illegally even after 73 years.
