BJP violates Indian Flag Code, places party flag over tricolor on Kalyan Singh's mortal remains
The incident took place under the watch of CM Adityanath, netizens demand action
Lucknow: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday received backlash from the social media users as pictures of BJP flag placed over the Indian flag on the mortal remains of former UP CM Kalyan Singh went viral across social media platforms.
In one of the pictures shared by several social media users including journalists and activists, UP CM Yogi Adityanath is seen paying his final respect to the mortal remains of Kalyan Singh. However, a BJP flag is overlapping the Indian tricolor that was actually placed on his mortal remains.
Users were quick to take note of the incident and slammed the BJP for disrespecting the Indian flag by overlapping it with its party flag.
According to the Flag Code of India 2002, “no other flag or bunting should be placed higher than or above or side by side with the National Flag; nor should any object including flowers or garlands or emblem be placed on or above the Flag-mast from which the Flag is flown” a user reminded BJP on Twitter.
Several users demanded action against the concerned people who were responsible for it while others slammed CM Adityanath and other senior leaders for not speaking up against it.

Abhishek Sharma's massive century guides SRH to 8-wicket win against PBKS
Hyderabad, Apr 12 (PTI): Opener Abhishek Sharma smashed a superb century and shared a 171-run partnership with Travis Head as Sunrisers Hyderabad made a mockery of the massive 245-run chase, registering an eight-wicket win against Punjab Kings here on Saturday.

Abhishek clobbered 141 off 55 deliveries studded with 14 fours and 10 big hits, while Head made 66 off 37 balls as the duo undid the good work done by Punjab Kings' captain Shreyas Iyer, who hit a 36-ball 82 after electing to bat first.

Earlier, PBKS openers Priyansh Arya (36 off 13 balls) and Prabhsimran Singh (42 off 23) added 66 runs quickly before Iyer carried on the good work along with Nehal Wadhera (27).
Harshal Patel (4/42) emerged as the most successful SRH bowler, while Sri Lankan right-arm quick Eshan Malinga (2/45) took two wickets.
