Rayees Mattoo hoisted National flag: Rayees Mattoo, the brother of a Hizbul terrorist who was seen hanging the national flag at his residence in Jammu and Kashmir’s Sopore ahead of Independence Day, stated on Monday that he did it freely. A video showing Rayees, the brother of Hizbul terrorist Javid Mattoo, waving the Tricolour from his home window went viral on social media.
Javid Mattoo is an active terrorist with the Hizbul Mujahideen terror organisation. He was apparently one of the top ten targets on the list of security agencies in the region. “I waved the Tiranga from my heart. There was no pressure from anyone…Saare jahaan se achha Hindustan humara, hum bulbule hain iske ye gulistan hamara,” he told news agency.
“There is development. For the first time, I am sitting at my shop on August 14, it used to be shut for two-three days. The previous political parties were playing games…My brother became one (a terrorist) in 2009, we don’t know anything about him after that…If he is alive, I urge him to come back…The situation has changed, Pakistan can’t do anything…Hum Hindustani the, hain aur rahenge,” Rayees added.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked people to participate in the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ initiative, which will take place between August 13 and 15.
