Kashmir: Pakistan flags waved at separatist leader's rally

Tral, J&K, May 1 (IBNS): Supporters of separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani were seen waving Pakistani flags at a rally that he addressed in Tral in south Kashmir after Friday prayers.
About 15 to 20 Pakistani flags were spotted at the rally, reports said.
 
Hitting out at BJP, which is an ally in the PDP government in Jammu and Kashmir, for remaining silent over the issue, former J&K CM Omar Abdullah tweeted: "Imagine what @BJP4India would have said if as CM I'd been sitting in Bombay surrounded by movie stars while Pak flags are waved in Kashmir."
 
Abdullah was referring to the waving of Pakistani flags in Tral and Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed meeting Bollywood stars in Mumbai on Thursday for promoting shooting of movies in the Valley.
 
Another separatist leader Masarat Alam was earlier arrested for  leading a rally in Srinagar, where his supporters waved Pakistani flags and raised slogans.
