Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed on Thursday said the law will take its own course even as demands surfaced for separatist leader Masarat Alam's arrest after he organised a pro-Pakistan rally in Jammu and Kashmir.
"The law will take its own course," Mufti told reporters here.
Meanwhile, the Shiv Sena targeted its Maharashtra alliance partner BJP, saying it was the latter's duty to take action over the issue.
"This becomes the responsibility of BJP government to take actions now as it's also a part of Jammu and Kashmir government. We raised questions during Masarat Alam's release and now we can see pro-Pakistan slogans being raised," said Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut.
On Wednesday, Alam sparked a fresh controversy by raising anti-India slogans to greet separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani.
The incident led to widespread criticism over Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed's move to release Alam, a political prisoner, from the Baramulla prison, as there were no criminal charges against him.
Alam is the chairman of Muslim League, a constituent of hardline Hurriyat Conference led by Geelani and is widely seen as the latter's heir apparent.
He had been convicted for organizing anti-India protests resulting in the death of 112 people in stone pelting across the Valley in 2010.
