On Friday, a video went viral on the internet in which Kashmiri Muslims were seen chanting Azadi and anti-India slogans at the Jamia Masjid in Srinagar, one of the largest mosques in the region.
Amidst the chants of ‘Allahu Akbar’ and ‘Naara-e-Takbeer’, several Muslims who had assembled at the mosque to offer Ramzan prayers shouted Azadi and anti-India slogans as they hailed terrorist Zakir Musa, the Chief of the terrorist group Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind, who the Indian Army killed in an encounter in May 2019.
In the clip that has gone viral now, people could be heard shouting slogans that called for secession from India.
