Youm-e-Istehsal (Urdu: یوم استحصال, transl. "Day of Exploitation") is observed in Pakistan on 5 August every year, as part of the Kashmir conflict with neighbouring India. It decries the day on which the Indian government revoked Jammu and Kashmir's special status in 2019, abolishing the State of Jammu and Kashmir and replacing it with Jammu and Kashmir in the west and Ladakh in the east; both regions are claimed by Pakistan in their entirety. The day is presented as an expression of Pakistani solidarity with the Kashmiri people, who are indigenous to the Muslim-majority Kashmir Valley. The repealing of Article 370 was met with opposition from Pakistan, which downgraded diplomatic ties with India and suspended various cooperative initiatives between the two countries. Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan likened India to Nazi Germany, while Pakistani president Arif Alvi stated that the Indian government had "learned how to change demography from Israel" in Kashmir.
