Mufti Mohammad Sayeed assures action against waving of Pakistan flags

Jammu, May 2 (IBNS) Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed on Saturday said action will be taken against those who waved Pakistani flags at Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani's rally on Friday. .

"We will take strict action against whosoever is found guilty. Law will take its own course. We had acted against Masarat Alam as well," he said.

The rally was  held at Tral in South Kashmir where demonstrators raised pro-Pakistan slogans and waved Pakistani flags in the second such incident in recent times.

Condmning the incident, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said  he was confident that the Mufti Mohammad Sayeed government will initiate action to ensure that such things do not recur.

"We (BJP and Central government) expect that he ( Sayeed) will live up to the expectations of people and the nation," he said.

"It is condemnable. There is no place for Pakistani flags being hoisted...The government in the state is capable of handling any situation like this and we expect that they would rise to the occasion," he said.

BJP, which leads the ruling NDA at the centre, is in alliance with Mufti Mohammad Sayeed's People's Democractic Party in Jammu and Kashmir.

The relation between the two parties soured following the release of separatist leader Masarat Alam Bhat from jail which triggered a huge uproar across the country. However, the J & K government was forced to arrest him again under the pressure of the centre when he raised pro-Pakistan slogans and waved Pakistani flags at a rally at a rally called by Hurriyat Conference hardliner leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani at Tral last mont.
