Pak flag row: Sayeed says law will take its course
Srinagar, Apr 16: After Pakistan flags were seen being hoisted in Kashmiri separatist Masarat Alam's rally in Srinagar, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh reacted asking Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed to take "stringent" action at the earliest, with the latter assuring that law will follow its course.
"The law will take its own course, we can\'t ignore law," Chief Minister Sayeed told media even as Rajnath Singh reportedly said he would under no circumstance compromise on national security.
The police on Wednesday registered an FIR against senior Hurriyat leaders, including Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Masarat Alam Bhat , Bashir Ahmad Bhat alias Peer Saifullah and other leaders, for provocative activities and hoisting Pakistani flag in Hyderpora.
In a statement to IBNS, a police spokesman said that some miscreants who were part of the crowd organised by Geelani and others pelted stones on CRPF vehicles.
