Kashmir Solidarity Day ( یوم یکجہتی کشمیر‬‎) or Kashmir Day, is a national holiday in Pakistan and also observed by Kashmiri nationalists on 5 February each year. It is in observance of Pakistan’s support of and unity with the people of Indian-administered Kashmir, the nationalists' efforts to separate from India and to pay homage to Kashmiris who have died in the conflict. Solidarity rallies are held in Azad Kashmir, Pakistan and by Mirpur Kashmiris in the United Kingdom. The day often marks unrest in Indian-administered Kashmir.
