Protesters wave Pakistan, LeT flags in Srinagar

The protesters clashed with Jammu and Kashmir Police in the Nowhatta area of Srinagar.

The police then resorted to bursting of teargas shells to disperse the mob.

The incident happened soon after the Friday prayers.

The protesters also pelted stones at the police who were deployed in strength outside the Jamia mosque.

Incidents of Pakistani flags being raised have happened in past as well in the Kashmir Valley.

Earlier  supporters of separatists leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Wednesday waved Pakistani flags and raised anti- India slogans at a separatist leader's rally in old Srinagar.

Life in the Kashmir Valley was crippled on Thursday due to a general strike called by the moderate Hurriyat Conference which coincided with the death anniversary of  Moulvi Mohammad Farooq.

The government imposed strict restrictions in areas falling under five police stations of Khanyar, Rainawari, Nowhatta, M.R. Gunj, Safa Kadal and Maisuma in view of a rally being organized by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq.

Pertinently, Masarat Alam was arrested last month after his supporters waved Pakistani flags and raised pro-Pakistan slogans at a rally in capital Srinagar that he had organized to welcome back Mr Geelani at his residence.
