Won't be attending Pak Day celebrations, will send colleagues: Separatist Masarat Alam

New Delhi, Mar 23: Separatist leader Masarat Alam, who was released from jail earlier this month, on Monday, March 23 said that he won't be attending the Pakistan's National Day celebrations.

Reacting to a query, Alam said, "I won't be attending due to health issues, will send my colleagues."

Pakistan had invited Masarat Alam, to attend its National Day celebrations on Monday.
