There seems to be no end to incidents of waving of Pakistani flags by separatists in Jammu and Kashmir.

This comes almost a week after the separatists waved both Pakistani as well as Lashkar-e-Toiba flags in Nowhatta area of Srinagar. Massive clashes broke out in the area as scores of separatist supporters took out a protest rally with Pakistani and Lashkar flags over house arrest of Mirwaiz Umar Farooq.

While the protesters pelted stones, the forces had to resort to tear gas shelling.
