Srinagar: A flag, resembling Pakistan”s national flag, appeared in front of the Law Department of Kashmir University campus at Hazratbal here today, creating a flutter.
The miniature flag, hoisted atop a pylon outside the Law Departments main building, was noticed by some students this morning, official sources said.
The flag became the centre of attraction as many students gathered around it and started taking pictures, the sources said.
They said the flag was probably hoisted during the intervening night.
Proctor of the University Porfessor Mohammad Afzal Zargar said complaints about the objectionable flag were received in his office.
“But by the time the officials reached the spot, they could not find any flag,” Zargar said.
Superintendent of Police Hazratbal Maqsood-uz-Zaman also said he was not aware of any such incident having taken place.
The raising of the flag in the campus comes days after the police arrested a lecturer of Gandhi Memorial College, which is affiliated with the University, on charges of setting a question paper loaded with references to human rights “violations” by security forces in Kashmir.
