New Delhi/Srinagar, Apr 16 (IBNS): In the wake of the controversy over Pakistani flags being hoisted in Kashmiri separatist rally, Masarat Alam on Thursday said that the move was nothing new and it had happened earlier as well.
He also said that Hurriyat did not fly the flags.
 
"Hurriyat did not wave Pakistani flag but some boys did it. This is nothing new, it has happened earlier as well," Alam told CNN-IBN channel.
 
Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh reacted asking Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed to take "stringent" action at the earliest.
 
"I have spoke to the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir and asked him to take strict action in the matter," Singh said.
 
Sayeed, however, assured 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.
