Digvijaya Singh wants to know under which sections Masarat Alam was arrested

Separatist leader Masarat Alam was on Friday arrested for waving Pakistani flags and raising pro-Pak slogans. Before his formal arrest, hardline Hurriyat Conference chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Masarat Alam were on Thursday put under house arrest.

Soon upon Alam's arrest, Congress leader, Digvijaya Singh took to micro blogging site demanding the information on under which sections these two were booked.

Digvijaya tweeted, "Want to know under what sections Alam and Geelani have been arrested. Have they been arrested for Sedition or Waging a War against the nation."

The state Government, in which BJP is an alliance partner, came in for flak over its decision to allow Geelani to hold the rally in Srinagar city which comes after a gap of five years.

During the rally, separatist Alam, released from jail last month, praised founder of Lashker-e-Taiba terror outfit Hafeez Sayeed and asked people to join hands with his outfit.

Bowing to the pressure from ally BJP and Central Home Ministry, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammaed Sayeed denied permission for Friday's congregation. and said pro-Pak slogans were 'not acceptable' and 'will not be tolerated'.
