In some areas, the festivities are as big as those of the Hindu festival of Diwali. The "Accession Day" is observed as "Black Day" by separatist Kashmiri leaders like Syed Ali Shah Geelani and followers of All Parties Hurriyat Conference in protest of alleged human rights violations by the India's "occupation" of Jammu and Kashmir.
