On the issue of the waving of Pakistan flags at separatist leader Geelani’s rally in Tral, Kashmir, the BJP leader said that same action should be taken against Geelani as was taken in case of the separatist leader Masarrat Alam after such anti -national activities were committed during his rally in the Valley last month.
