No offence in unfurling Pakistan’s flag: Hurriyat Conference
A day after police booked woman separatist leader Asiya Andrabi for unfurling Pakistan’s flag, the Hurriyat Conference said it is “no offence” to unfurl a flag on Pakistan’s national day and called for an immediate withdrawal of the case. It said “if it is an offence to join in its celebrations” on Pakistan Day, New Delhi should also book Union Minister Gen V K Singh, who was chief guest in the celebrations at Pakistan High Commission.
“Registering FIR against Andrabi for unfurling flag on Pakistan day is surprising and unfortunate,” said Hurriyat spokesman Ayaz Akbar. “Pakistan supports the right of self determination for J&K people to express joy on its national day is no offence,” he said.
