Jammu: Offering a soft stand to those who wish to hold dialogue to discuss all "vexed issues", the Centre today sent a strong message to freedom fighters saying those raising pro-Pak slogans and waving Pakistani flags on Indian territory will be dealt with severely.
"We are ready to talk to everyone. Democracy is all about keeping open the communication lines, but we won't tolerate anybody raising pro-Pak slogans and raising Pakistani flags on Indian territory. They will be severely dealt with," Home Minister Rajnath Singh said while addressing the Jan Kalyan Parv function in Jammu.
Singh said the state government has been asked to take strong action against people who raise pro-Pakistan slogans and wave Pakistani flag. "The Jammu and Kashmir government has been acting on this direction."
The Home Minister said he feels pained to see the youth of the state, especially of Kashmir, being misguided.
"It pains me to see the youth being misguided. When some misguided youth raise pro-Pak slogans and wave Pakistan flags, it is not a good thing. I appeal to such youths not to get misguided. We need everybody's cooperation to move forward, to take this country forward," he said.
