'pakistan Flag At Separatist Rally Won't Be Tolerated" Mufti Mohammed

[timmy]

SRINAGAR:  A day after Pakistani flags were waved at Kashmiri separatist Masarat Alam's rally in Srinagar, Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed called it "unacceptable" and something illegal, which will not be tolerated.

 

Hours after the rally on Wednesday, Mufti Sayeed had received a phone call from Home Minister Rajnath Singh, who asked for "immediate and stringent" action.

"There can be no compromise on national security. Politics cannot impinge on national security," the home minister reportedly told Mr Sayeed.

An FIR or police complaint has been filed but there have been no arrests yet.

The Chief Minister said, "The law will take its own course, we can't ignore law."

But a member of his People's Democratic Party or PDP has controversially said that democratic space cannot be denied to separatists.

"Separatism and Pakistan constituency in Kashmir is a reality and we have to deal with it. We can't deny democratic space to these people. It is an ideological battle now. We have to make them mainstream by giving them democratic space," said Wahid Rehman Parra, the PDP's youth president and spokesperson.

Masarat Alam, whose release from jail in March ignited a massive political controversy, had organized the rally to welcome Hurriyat Conference hardliner Syed Ali Shah Geelani back to the Valley after several months in Delhi.

44-year-old Alam, a hardliner, is accused of organizing stone-throwing protests across the Kashmir Valley in 2010, in which more than 100 people were killed. He was released days after the PDP took power in alliance with the BJP.

The separatist rally is likely to amplify tension between the ideologically divergent parties who came together to give Jammu and Kashmir a government on the basis of a common minimum programme.

As opposition parties attacked the BJP-led central government over Masarat Alam's release, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said in the Lok Sabha, "I also lend my voice to the outrage on the release of the separatist... this is not one party's outrage, it is the nation's outrage."

Masarat Alam, the separatist leader who waived flag of Pakistan in a rally at Srinagar, has denied doing such an act. He said that he was waiving a green and light blue color flag, but admitted that some of his other leaders have waived the Pak flag. In an interview to news channel, he questioned as to what damage has been done by yesterday's rally. An FIR is already registered on Masarat. Union Minister Rajnath Singh has severely condemned this incident and asked J&K CM to take strict action on him.

Hurriyat did not wave Pakistani flag, some boys did it: Kashmiri separatist Masarat Alam

 

Jammu: A day after Pakistani flags were waved by separatist leader Masarat Alam and his supporters at a rally in Jammu and Kashmir, he clarified that there was nothing new in it. "Hurriyat did not wave Pakistani flag but some boys did it. This is nothing new, it has happened earlier as well," Alam said.

While the Central government has asked the state government to take strict action, J&K CM Mufti Mohammad Sayeed is non-committal on the issue. Seeking strict action, Home Minister Rajnath Singh told Sayeed that there can be no compromise on issues of national security. Mufti is likely to have been advised to take strong measures to prevent a repeat of what happened.

BJP, alliance partner of PDP in J&K also reacted sharply with Minister of State for Home Kiran Rijiju saying that the state government had been asked to act against those who had broken the law.

 

Senior BJP leader Ram Madhav also asserted BJP's tough stand on the issue. "We have acted tough. We will not tolerate such pro Pakistani slogans. An FIR has been registered against Masarat. He is likely to be arrested soon. It is not the question of how long we will tolerate. But we have given a tough message to state government to take action immediately," he said.

Alam was the mastermind behind the 2008 and 2010 protests and stone-pelting incidents in which over 100 people most of them teenage boys lost their lives. He was later arrested on the orders of the then Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah.
