Youths burn Musharraf effigy to protest blasts

New Delhi, July 19: About a 100 youth today held demonstations and burnt Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf in effigy to protest his double-speak on India-Pakistan relations in the wake of the recent Mumbai blasts.

The demonstrators, who came under the 'Muslim Yuva Atankwad Virohi Samiti' banner, also burnt the Pakistan flag and submitted a memorandum with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh demanding that talks with the neighbouring country be stopped until its rulers showed sincerity.

Demanding that Pakistan first hand over '20 most wanted' including Dawood Ibrahim to India before any meaningful dialogue could be initiated with it, the MYAVS activists said only after this, the genuine talks were possible.
