Srinagar:
The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad marched with a 30-meter national flag through the historic city center of Lal Chowk on Thursday to mark India’s 74th Republic Day.
Chanting ‘Vande Mataram’ and ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) activists from different parts of the country marched from Sher-e-Kashmir Park to the iconic clock tower in Lal Chowk.
There was tight security for the rally, which ended peacefully.
It is the first time that the ABVP, the student branch of the RSS, organizes an event in Kashmir.
Earlier, the BJP’s Jammu and Kashmir unit hoisted the tricolor at the clock tower as part of the Republic Day celebrations.
