An anti-India protest rally was organized under the aegis of Pasban-e-Hurriyat Jammu and Kashmir here on Thursday.

Rally participants chanted pro freedom slogans besides against Modi and India’s illegal military occupation in Jammu and Kashmir.

They maintained that Kashmiri youth are being martyred; houses and bazaars are being destroyed. The political, social and religious rights of the people are being violated in addition of breaking the unity of the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
