A complete shutdown was observed Saturday against the burning of flag in Rajouri on which holy verses of Quran were written. The strike call issued jointly by trade bodies. JKLF supported the strike call while Hurriyat (m) called it ‘legitimate’.
Business establishments were completely shut across Srinagar while offices registered thin attendance. Thin public traffic plied on roads while.
Earlier this week, members of several rightwing parties like VHP, Shiv Sena and Bajrang Dal had incinerated the flags of ISIS in response to alleged reports that some Muslims in the district had waved the flags of the international terror group.
But taking objection, Muslim groups of the region strongly condemned the incident of burning flags that had Kalima Tayyaba inscribed on it.
