Will unfurl tricolour only when allowed to raise 'J&K flag': Mehbooba Mufti

India TV News  

Peoples Democratic Party chief Mehbooba Mufti on Friday triggered a row, saying she will continue the fight to "bring back the flag of Jammu and Kashmir. Talking to reporters in Srinagar, the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said that she won't raise any other flag until the state flag was allowed to be hoisted. After the Centre scrapped the act providing special status to the state in August last year, the state flag, which used to fly along with the tricolour at the state secretariat, was removed. Mufti was released on October 13 night as the Union Territory administration revoked the Public Safety Act charges against her, more than a year after she was detained following the abrogation of special status of the erstwhile state.
