SRINAGAR: Awami ittihaad Party (AIP) led by Engineer Rashid Saturday observed national day by unfurling National Flag of Kashmir and singing the National Anthem at historical Municipal (Sher-i-Kashmir) Park Srinagar.
Soon after his speech Rashid hoisted the flag and activists recited National Song of Kashmir bringing tears to his eyes.
In his speech Er Rashid dwelt on what he described as the historic facts regarding how New Delhi has managed to dilute the identity of Kashmir and has violated not only the terms of instrument of accession but also made insertions in the constitution of Jammu and Kashmir.
Pertinently, it was on 7th of June 1952 that the Jammu & Kashmir assembly adopted its own national song and flag.
Large number of people were present on the occasion.
We are celebrating June 7 as National Day and will continue to celebrate it in coming years so that we regain our lost glory, he said.
This day should serve as a message to Central government over its misadventures on article 370, Rashid said. He demanded that the 7th June be declared as national day and also a state holiday.
Scotland and Ireland regained its lost glory by bringing into fore the importance of National Anthems and National Flags and Kashmir has to follow same path, independent MLA from Langate said
