She said that as long as the people of Jammu and Kashmir are not allowed to determine their future through self-determination as per the resolutions passed by the UN Security Council, hoisting big flags and organizing celebration events in IIOJK by India and its local collaborators will be treated as nothing but coercion and bullying. Mushaal also said that India is pursuing a policy of misleading the people of its country as well as the world about Kashmir, so it is resorting to such cheap measures like hoisting flags etc. But the majority of the people of Jammu Kashmir have nothing to do with it and they will put it into practice on August 15 with a full-scale strike and complete civil curfew. Mushaal said that there is no legitimacy of India to celebrate its Independence Day when it has snatched the birth right of Independence for Kashmiris for over seven decades. The Kashmiris across the world hold anti-India demonstrations in front of Indian embassies to draw the world's attention towards the Indian brutalities in the occupied territory.
