Kashmir Solidarity Day (Urdu: یوم یکجہتی کشمیر‎), or Kashmir Day, is a national holiday in Pakistan and also observed by Kashmiri separatists on 5 February each year. It is in observance of Pakistan's support of and unity with the people of Indian-administered Kashmir, the separatists' efforts to secede from India, and to pay homage to the Kashmiris who have died in the conflict.[1][2] Solidarity rallies are held in Pakistan-administered Azad Kashmir and by some members of the Mirpuri diaspora.
