Flag issue: Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front chief goes into hiding

Apprehending arrest ahead of their proposed march to Lal Chowk in Srinagar on Republic Day, Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chairman Mohammad Yaseen Malik and his close associates today went into hiding.

"With police raiding several places to arrest JKLF leaders and activists, Yaseen Malik and his associates have gone into hiding to avoid arrests," a JKLF spokesperson said.

The JKLF has decided to stage a march to Lal Chowk, the city's commercial hub, to counter BJP's plan to hoist the tricolour there on January 26.
