30 detained for burning Pakistani flag

New Delhi, February 15

As India awaits a strong response to the Pulwama terror attack, a huge number of protesters thronged the Pakistani Embassy in New Delhi, triggering a law and order challenge.

Security has been beefed up in the area, as activists of the United Hindu Front and "Swabhiman Desh Ka" gathered outside the embassy shouting slogans of revenge for Thursday's gruesome terror attack.

Tajinder Pal Bagga, a protester, tweeted, "Delhi Police detained 30 youths for burning Pakistani flag at Pakistan Embassy. They are at the Mandir Marg Police Station from 9 am, police didn't give them even water from morning. Will you release or want another protest at ur police station?"

Protesters have demanded that all ties with Pakistan be snapped by shutting down the Pakistani Embassy in New Delhi and calling back Indian diplomats from Islamabad. — TNS
