Reports reaching here on Monday from across the line of control revealed that in spite of extra ordinary security measures coupled with restrictions and ban on gatherings, imposed by the Indian occupation forces as previous, people in various parts of the occupied Jammu Kashmir, particularly in the Muslim-dominated Kashmir valley and several parts of the Jammu region celebrated the Independence Day of Pakistan enthusiastically and in a befitting manner to reiterate their fullest solidarity and love with Pakistan since they consider Islamic Republic of Pakistan their sole destination in all respect.
People in occupied Jammu Kashmir hoisted Pakistans national flag atop their houses at various places, the report revealed. The Indian security forces, according to the reports, had taken stringent measures to foil the attempt of the occupied Kashmir people to hoist the Pakistani flags on their buildings on the occasion of Independence Day.
