Women Seen Sympathising With Pakistani Flag In India; Sparks Outrage Amid Pahalgam Terror Attack
Amid the aftermath of the deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir—which claimed 26 lives, including Karnataka resident Manjunath Rao—a video from Kalaburagi, Karnataka, has gone viral. The footage shows two burqa-clad Muslim women carefully removing Pakistani flags pasted on the streets, taking great care to ensure they are not damaged. Their actions, captured on camera, have sparked widespread outrage across the country.
These women expressed visible distress over the disrespect shown to the Pakistani flag and even pointed fingers in protest at those responsible. One of them, aware that the video was being recorded, defiantly said, "Take our photo," showing no fear of public reaction despite growing anti-Pakistan sentiment in the country.
In today's episode of DNA, Zee News Managing Editor Rahul Sinha analysed the viral video from Karnataka, in which a woman is seen sympathizing with the Pakistani flag.

The flags were initially placed by Hindu activists protesting the Pahalgam attack. However, Kalaburagi police detained the activists, citing the lack of official permission for the demonstration, later released them. This incident has raised questions about whether permission is needed to express anger against Pakistan in a public space.
Meanwhile, in Jaipur, Rajasthan, tensions erupted after a protest led by BJP MLA Balamukund Acharya. The protest, intended to honor victims of the Pahalgam attack, featured slogans like "Pakistan Murdabad" and symbolic burning of Pakistan's flag and posters. The situation escalated when some protesters placed anti-Pakistan posters near a mosque, leading to protests by hundreds of local Muslims and the eventual filing of an FIR against Acharya, accusing him of inciting religious sentiments—allegations he has denied.

Another shocker from Pakistan: Sharif govt gives 500 per cent salary hike to NA Speaker, Senate Chairman
Islamabad: The government led by Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has approved a massive 500 per cent salary increase for the Speaker of the National Assembly and the Chairman of the Senate (Upper House), local media reported on Saturday. The move comes at a time when Pakistan's economy is crippled by unending political chaos and huge unrest in the provinces of Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, formerly known as the North West Frontier Province (NWFP). "National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq and Senate Chairman Yousuf Raza Gillani will now receive a monthly salary of PKR 1.3 million. Previously, both high-ranking parliamentary officials were drawing a salary of PKR 205,000 per month," ARY News reported. The massive increase, the report mentioned citing a notification released by the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs, will come into effect from January 1, 2025. Earlier, the Sharif government had approved a PKR 519,000 monthly salary increase for Members of the National Assembly (MNAs) and Senators. In March, the Sharif-led Pakistani government, which had initially made tall claims about launching austerity drives and cutting down on expenditures, had approved a staggering 188 per cent increase in the salaries of cabinet ministers, ministers of state and advisors. The developments have been severely criticised by the citizens of the country who remain burdened with high taxations, job loss, inflation, high fuel cost, high electricity price, and a plethora of other problems. Pakistan's economy has for long been surviving on loans received from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) with Sharif advising people to tighten their expenditures while asserting that it is only a recovery phase. However, the back-to-back hikes in salaries of ministers, advisors, MNAs, Senators and now the National Assembly Speaker and Chairman of the Senate, have raised a serious question about the government's intentions. Sharif, at the same time, continues to increase the number of his federal cabinet which stands at 51 members currently. The initial number of federal cabinet members stood at 21, which was increased to 43 later. "First, they claim about the need for austerity, belt-tightening and what not... Then they claim that they would not pack their cabinet with ministers and advisors and later do the opposite. Skinning us all with taxes, job losses, inflation and blatantly towering up the number of cabinet members plus giving them massive salary hikes is just not done," a local resident in Islamabad had told IANS a few weeks ago.
