Bajrang Dal activists burn effigy of Masarat Alam

Activists of Bajrang Dal today burnt an effigy of separatist leader Masarat Alam for raising pro-Pakistan slogans at a rally in Srinagar.

Bajrang Dal leader Kushpal Singh said yesterday's event in Srinagar was "embarrassing" to the country and demanded that Alam be arrested immediately for such activities.

Pro-Pakistan slogans were raised by Alam and others waved Pakistani flags at a rally addressed by hardliner Syed Ali Shah Geelani in Srinagar yesterday.

The incident has drawn widespread criticism from all quarters.
