Srinagar

Jammu and Kashmir Lt. Governor Manoj Sinha said the huge participation of people in ‘Tiranga Rally’ in Srinagar on Sunday has proved those wrong who say that nobody would pick up the national flag in Kashmir if Article 370 was removed. 

Sinha was alluding to a speech made by the former chief minister in which she had said that nobody would shoulder the national flag in Kashmir if Article 370 was abrogated. Mehbooba had made that speech before the abrogation of Article 370. A largely participated Tiranga Rally was taken out in Srinagar city which Sinha also joined.

“Tiranga in every hand today and the great enthusiasm in the rally is what every Kashmiri yearned for. Huge participation in the rally today is a big reply to those who once claimed that none in the Valley would pick up the Tricolour if Article 370 was removed,” Sinha said during the rally

He said it is a proud moment to see not just officials from the administration and the police officers, but a large number of people from Srinagar.

Srinagar Police posted this video of the young children holding tiranga in their hands in Srinagar and marching with a smile:
