Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha hoisted the national flag on 74th Independence Day in Srinagar.
Celebrations have been kept minimal this year in view of COVID spread.
Sinha, former union minister, took oath of office as Lt Governor on August 07.
"People responsible for partition had also attempted to create divisions here on the basis of religion.
People here always dismissed their ideology.
Rejecting the religious frenzy at the time of partition, people of JandK connected themselves to the sense of national spirit," said the Lt Governor.
