I Waved Tiranga From My Heart: Brother Of Hizbul Terrorist After Hoisting Tricolour In Kashmir

A video of Rayees Mattoo, the brother of a Hizbul terrorist, hoisting a national flag at his residence in Jammu and Kashmir has gone viral.

A widely circulated video on social media showed Rayees, the sibling of Hizbul terrorist Javid Mattoo, proudly waving the Tricolour from his residence's window.

Speaking to ANI, he said that he hoisted the flag without any pressure. Mattoo also claimed that he is not in touch with his brother.

"I waved the Tiranga from my heart. There was no pressure from anyone...Saare jahaan se achha Hindustan hamara, hum bulbule hain iske ye gulistan hamara. There is development. For the first time I am sitting at my shop on 14th August, it used to be shut for 2-3 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 theyy, hain aur rahenge," he told the news agency.

As India is set to celebrate it's 77th Independence Day on Tuesday, the fervour of patriotism is running high, especially in Jammu and Kashmir. Over the weekend, in Doda, the Ganpat Bridge was illuminated with the hues of the Tricolour, and a Tiranga rally was orchestrated to commemorate the event.
