Separatist leader Masarat Alam was on Friday arrested for waving Pakistani flags and raising pro-Pak slogans, ahead of their rally in Tral town of Pulwama district. Hardline Hurriyat Conference chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Masarat Alam were on Thursday put under house arrest. Before his arrest, Alam said, “Let government do whatever they want to. We will carry on with what we are doing. My message to them is that they should follow the Hurriyat program,”. During the rally, separatist Alam, released from jail last month, praised founder of Lashker-e-Taiba Hafeez Sayeed and asked people to join hands with his outfit.
