The Modi administration’s plan to assert complete control over Indian-occupied Kashmir has once again failed, as for the first time, people have openly opposed the August 5 actions on a public level.
According to reports, citizens took to the streets in Shopian, Srinagar, and other regions. After years of silence, the Kashmiri people broke their silence with courage, exposing India’s false narrative.
Despite Indian oppression, restrictions, and an atmosphere of fear, Kashmiris raised their voices boldly. Public anger against the unconstitutional measures taken on August 5 continues to grow throughout the valley.
Security in Srinagar has been tightened, yet the public response appears to be beyond control. Protest banners were displayed in Shopian, slogans were chanted, and symbolic rallies were organized.
Kashmiris have sent a clear message: the time for silence is over. The echo of protest in the streets of Kashmir has shaken the Indian state. While Indian media chose to remain silent, international media reported the developments.
