At a time when the coronavirus cases in India are on a rise, a questionable video is going viral on social media against wearing of masks. It is mandatory to wear masks in order to be safe and avoid the spread of the virus. And while there are anti-mask protests being held in some parts of the world, the movement seems to be taking shape in India as well. A video of a group of youngsters starting an anti-mask campaign has been shared online and is going viral. They apparently started it on Indian Independence Day, claiming to seek freedom from using masks. They call it #MaskseAzaadi. The video is being shared online and people are slamming it for being so misguiding. Can’t Breathe in Your Face Mask?

The video features a group of 5 people who remove their masks and call for freedom from wearing it. It starts with masks being a manipulation, control and taking away one's freedom. The next person questions "how breathing in one's own carbon dioxide can be healthy?" The third person goes on to call it a sign of slavery! As they give out their opinions, they take off their masks and burn it in a vessel at the end of the video. They state that masks do not work so why are we forced to wear them. They demand freedom from masks, control and freedom to breathe! Clearly, people on social media are not impressed and have slammed this initiative. Mumbai Police Urges People to Wear Face Masks While Stepping Outside During COVID-19 With Creative Tweets.
