In its recent commentary, think-tank European Foundation for South Asian Studies (EFSAS), described Ocr 22, 1947 as the 'darkest day in the history of J&K'.
"It is about time that the people of J&K realized that the real tragedy is that Pakistan even today believes in the same policy and adopts the same methods that it did in 1947, no matter how acutely detrimental those may be to the interests and the well-being of the people of J&K," the commentary said.
