SRINAGAR: Dukhtaran-i-Millat Chairperson Aasiya Andrabi Wednesday said she did not hoist Pakistani flag on Indian soil but hoisted it on the soil of Jammu and Kashmir which is a disputed territory and is not a part of India.
She was reacting after the reports that Jammu and Kashmir police have booked her for unfurling Pakistani flag in Kashmir during Pak National Day on March 23.
From last 35 years we have been hoisting Pakistan Flag in India. This time the difference was that instead of unfurling it in Pakistan embassy in New Delhi, we hoisted in on our own soil in Kashmir. Let me make it clear that Jammu and Kashmir is my own land and it is not the part of India and for that reason I have not committed any crime, Aasiya Andrabi told CNS adding that she was booked by police on the behest of Indian media under section 13A of Unlawful Activities Prevention Act.
Indian biased news channels blew the issue of flag hoisting out of proportion and all these channels put a pressure on police to book me. Instead of showing the news, these Indian news channels are acting as judge for Kashmiri people and are directing the Indian police and authorities, what to do and what not to do, she said and added that she would continue to hoist the Pakistani flag on Kashmir soil and will not abandon the practice under pressure either from Indian media or authorities.
