| Islamic State flag re-surfaces in Srinagar | | | Srinagar, Oct 10: A day after army expressed concern over the re-appearance of Islamic State (IS) flag during street protests and clashes, the IS flag again surfaced on Friday during a demonstration in downtown area of Srinagar here, witnesses said.
The witnesses said that soon after Friday prayers, youths gathered outside the historic Jamia Masjid or Grand Mosque in Nowhatta and started pro-freedom and anti-India sloganeering. The youths, many of whom were masked, also raised slogans in favour of IS and other Jihadist groups. "The protesters were holding Islamic State flag and one of the protesters waved IS flag after climbing mosque's gate," an eyewitness claimed.
The development comes just a day after General-officer-Commanding (GoC) 15 Corps, Lt General Subrata Saha termed the presence of IS flag during protests and clashes after Eid prayers this week a concern.
"…This is something which merits the highest concern of all security agencies and let me tell you that it is getting the attention of all the security agencies," he had said.

It merits and it is getting the highest concern," he added. The IS flag made debut in Kashmir when Israel pounded Gaza in July this year. During an anti-Israel protest, the youth waved IS flags outside Jamia Masjid in old city. The flag was later seen in almost every anti-India and anti-Israel protest that erupted in the old city. The flag has so far surfaced in Lal Chowk, Sopore town and Anantnag. |
