The flags of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Friday appeared in Lal Chowk and adjacent Maisuma area on a day Yasin Malik-led JKLF is planning a sit-in protest in the area.
Witnesses said that two youths were surrounded by a crowd while they were trying to unfurl flag at the clock tower in Lal Chowk.
One of the youth, identified as Sachin, is a resident of RS Pura.
Reports said that Sachin, a student of political science at IGNOU, was unfurling the flag while his accomplice was making a video.
Incidentally, JKLF is holding a sit-in at Lal Chowk to protest the “choking of political space, arrests spree and restrictions” by the government.
