Fact Check: Flag-raising at Pakistani consulate in UK shared in misleading posts about ‘Islamic invasion’

A video showing Pakistan’s flag being raised in the grounds of its Glasgow consulate to celebrate the South Asian country’s Independence Day has been shared in posts that misleadingly say it shows an “Islamic invasion” of Britain. “In every city in UK, Pakistani flag is being raised to celebrate Pakistan’s independence. This is what an Islamic invasion looks like,” said an August 15 post on Facebook, sharing a video of the flag-hoisting ceremony. The video shows a ceremony on August 14 to mark Pakistan’s independence from British rule in 1947.
