NEW DELHI – While India has escalated atrocities in held valley of Kashmir, people in IHK have been waving Chinese flags to degrade Indian government and the military.
Previously, Pakistani flags were being waved in the occupied valley. But this is the first time, some protesters who took to the streets after Friday prayers in Baramulla came out with Chinese flags.
“This is the first time that Chinese flags have been seen in the Valley protests since the killing of Burhan Wani”, Indian Express reported on Saturday.
Soon after the Friday prayers ended at the Eidgah in Baramulla, a demonstration was staged and the flags were waved. Residents said the protesters, who were chanting slogans, had inscribed a message on one of the flags that sought help from China.
“Four or five Chinese flags were displayed by youths who had masked their faces during the protest that began soon after the Friday prayers,’’ a Baramulla resident said.
Police used tear smoke shells to disperse the protesters after they began hurling stones at policemen on duty.
