Srinagar
In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan’s national flags were hoisted in different areas of the territory on the occasion of Youm-e-Istehsal, today.
The occupation authorities continued to impose curfew and strict restrictions to prevent people from holding anti-India demonstrations on Youm-e-Istehsal, observed, today, on the completion of India’s illegal actions of 5th August, last year. Indian troops were deployed in strength across the occupied territory to keep the people indoors.
However, despite heavy presence of Indian troops Pakistani flag was hoisted on main road Bemina on the outskirts of Srinagar city and other areas of the occupied territory. Posters with ‘Go India go back’ slogans were seen pasted on walls, pillars and polls in various areas of Srinagar and Tral.
People hoist Pakistani flags and raise pro-Pakistan slogans on all important days and occasions to express gratitude to the country for its continued support to their struggle for securing their right to self-determination.
They also chant anti-India slogans to show their resentment against India’s illegal occupation of their homeland.
The occupied territory has been under military siege since August 05, last year, when Narendra Modi-led fascist government of India repealed the special status of Kashmir. Pakistan has effectively highlighted the Indian brutalities on the people of the occupied territory during this period.
Meanwhile, complete shutdown was observed in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir as a mark of protest against continued military siege and Modi regime’s nefarious plans to change the demographic profile of the territory.
Call for the strike has been given by the veteran Hurriyat leader, Syed Ali Gilani, and supported by almost all Hurriyat leaders and organizations.
Markets and business establishments across the occupied territory are shut while public transport is off the road.—KMS
