Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed has assured action after Pakistani flags were once again waved at Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani's rally. He said such action will not be tolerated. "We will take strict action against whosoever is found guilty. Law will take its own course. We had acted against Masarat Alam as well." The rally held in Tral in South Kashmir, the first in seven years by the separatist leader in the terrorism-infested township has witnessed pro-Pakistan sloganeering and waving of Pakistani flags and shouted pro-Pakistan slogans.

Union Minister Jitendra Singh condemned the waving of Pakistani flags and said he is confident that the Sayeed government would rise to the occasion and take steps to ensure such incidents do not recur. "We (BJP and Central government) expect that he (Chief Minister) will live up to the expectations of people and the nation (by ensuring swift action in such incidents)," Singh said. "It (waving of Pak flags) is condemnable. The government has reiterated time and again that there is no place for Pakistani flags being hoisted, but at the same time, I would hasten to add that the government in the state is capable of handling any situation like this and we expect that they would rise to the occasion," he said.

Senior leader Ram Madhav of BJP had said, "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."

The separatists who are anti-India do not have any shame and dignity to live in India and enjoy the various benefits meant for Indians. They are fully aware that if they leave India and go to Pakistan, they will not be able to live peacefully and they will not be safe and secure there. During the disaster of flood, these shameless, thankless separatist leaders have requested and took the help and support from the Indian Army for their safety and security. These morons eat and sleep in India and talk against India. The separatists who are literally eunuchs are a shame for the people of Kashmir as well as the country which is feeding them.
