According to a statement issued on Sunday, “The 26th January is being observed as a republic day by the Union of India who have suppressed the basic human rights and political and legal rights of the people of the J&K since 1947 with the advent of occupation of the state, since the government of India is in constant denial of justice to the people of J&K and have suppressed the legal, constitutional and basic human rights of the people of J&K as such the people of J&K are justified in observing 26th of January as a protest day.”
The statement further said that the Bar Association supports and extends its cooperation with the people of J&K in observing the 26th of January as a protest day (Black Day).
The Bar has also paid tributes to the martyrs including the martyrs of Gowkadal Srinagar massacre.
