"If locals who want to continue with terror by displaying flags of ISIS and Pakistan then we'll treat them as anti-nationals."?

Young boys with their faces covered were carrying green and white Pakistani flags as several dozen youths raised slogans, a police officer said.

According to local media, at least ten stone pelters were injured after clashes with security forces.?
