SRINAGAR: With curfew entering the 34th day in the valley on Friday, the longest it has been under prohibitory orders in its recent history, separatist mobs have taken control of streets across Kashmir, raising platforms to unfurl Pakistani flags on Pakistan's independence day on August 14. In fact, pro-Pakistan slogans have replaced cries for `azadi', posing new challenges for the state and Centre.
"Pakistan's role in the on-going unrest in Kashmir has become more evident if one looks at the frequent hoisting of Pakistani flags during anti-India rallies across Kashmir," said a police officer.
Pro-Pakistan separatist Syed Ali Shah Geelani has called for celebrating Pakistan's independence day with special prayers for the stability of the country that has witnessed a huge surge in terrorism in recent months.
Meanwhile, the situation remains tense in Kashmir with authorities blocking private telecom services besides cutting off mobile internet connectivity on cellphones. Police also appealed to imams of sundry mosques not to make speeches that instigate youths into committing acts of violence.
