More than 400 protesters defied curfew, which has been imposed in the valley since Sunday, gathered in Baramulla town and raised slogans against Zardari for his remarks on Kashmiri militants in an interview to the Wall Street Journal recently, official sources said.
This is for the first time that an effigy of a Pakistani ruler has been set ablaze in Kashmir valley since April 1979. | |
