Mr. Kamal's comments ought not to be taken lightly both by the local and the central government.  It releases an anti-India smell and should be nipped in the bud.  I think NC is using him as a mouth piece of its own feeling of pro-Pak sentiments.  However, Mr. Kamal is right in saying that Pakistani flag, like any other country's flag, should be respected, but Mr. Kamal's comments do not refer to the location of a Pakistani flag where it needs to be raised.  Under no circumstances, it should be allowed to be raised in the Indian territory.  This writer has a strong feeling that Mr. Kamal and his Abdullah group family members along with other separatists in Kashmir are puppets of a nation across the border.  Their activities and statements need a thorough probe and scrutiny and anything they say and propagate which is anti-India should be declared an act of a traitor.  Accordingly, they should face a legal music in the court - not just the house arrest.
