Chandigarh, August 24
City NSUI today protested at the Tribune chowk against the BJP, alleging that the party disrespected the national flag.
They alleged violation of the National Flag Code while paying tribute to Kalyan Singh, former UP Chief Minister and Governor of Rajasthan, in Lucknow.
“The national flag was half covered by the flag of the BJP on the coffin. No other flag should be placed higher than or above or side by side with the National Flag,” the protesters alleged.
NSUI senior leader Shub Sekhon said: “Imagine if any other party had even unwittingly committed such an illegality and a red flag or the flag of any other party had been placed over the national flag. All hell would have broken loose.” — TNS
