The Muslim Rashtriya Manch, an organisation related to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), organised a Tiranga Yatra in Kanpur on Tuesday in support of its demand to make Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) a part of India. It added that even after 75 years of independence, a long-pending desire of “nationalist India” is yet to be fulfilled. In the march attended mostly by Muslim activists of the organisation demanded that the government should intensify its efforts to provide justice and freedom to the people living in PoK.
“It has been more than 75 years of independence, the country is celebrating Amrit Mahotsav. But the people of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) are demanding to join India. India should make efforts to provide justice and freedom to the people living there and free them from occupation. Tiranga Yatra was taken out in Kanpur over the cause. We will continuously demand this,” said Mohammad Afzal, national convener, of the manch.
