Pune shop sells Pakistan flags with free lighters

As protests erupted in the city over the attack on CRPF convoy at Pulwama, a flag-seller here did a brisk business -- in Pakistani flags. Murudkar Zendewale, a famous flag-seller, sold more than 100 national flags of Pakistan on Friday and gave a lighter free with every flag. Pakistani flags were burnt at many places in the city in the wake of the terror attack at Pulwama in Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday in which at least 44 CRPF personnel were killed. People expressed anger about the neighbouring country, which is accused of harbouring Jaish-E-Mohammad, the terror outfit which has claimed the responsibility for the ghastly attack, by burning Pakistani flags.

“Since morning, we sold more than 100 Pakistani flags. We gave a lighter free with every flag,” said Girish Murudkar, the owner of Murdudkar Zendewale. His family is in the flagmaking business for three generations and the shop sells national flags of almost all the countries in the world, he said.
