A complete shutdown is scheduled to take place in IIOJK on July 8th to commemorate the 7th martyrdom anniversary of the esteemed youth leader, Burhan Muzaffar Wani. He, along with his fellow colleagues, bravely laid down their lives in the pursuit of the just cause of self-determination. The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has issued the call for the shutdown, with the intention of paying heartfelt tributes to Burhan Wani and the other martyrs of the Kashmir freedom movement. This call has garnered support from various pro-freedom leaders and organizations.
