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.

Delhi: Father, son held for killing 19-year-old woman in suspected honour killing
New Delhi (PTI): The Delhi Police has arrested a man and his son for allegedly murdering his 19-year-old daughter in west Delhi's Hari Nagar area, an official said on Friday.
The case first came to light on April 1 after a PCR call was received around 2 pm, alleging that a woman had been killed by her family members and her body was being taken for last rites, he said.
The accused, identified as Mohammad Maneer (55), a vegetable vendor, and his son Meraj Ali (19), were arrested in connection with the case, the officer said.
The victim had been in a relationship with a man from her native place for the past two years, which was opposed by her father, Maneer and brother Meraj, he said.
"When the girl did not end the relationship despite objections, the family killed her," the officer said.
On April 1, the police said that when their team reached the spot, they found that the woman's body was being taken for burial.
Acting on the input, the burial process was stopped over suspicion of honour killing.
"Police intercepted the family members and took possession of the body," he said.
Police said that the man who had made the PCR told them that the woman was in love with his cousin.
During the inquiry, police also interacted with the PCR caller, who said his cousin, a friend of the deceased, had informed him about the situation and suspected foul play, prompting him to alert the police control room.
The body of the woman was subsequently shifted to the mortuary of Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital for preservation and postmortem.
Police said that both the crime team and the forensic science laboratory (FSL) team were called to inspect the scene and collect evidence.
Police said that, as per the postmortem report, the cause of death was identified as smothering, indicating that the woman was suffocated.
A preliminary inquiry also revealed that the family had initiated preparations for the last rites soon after the woman's death, raising suspicion about the circumstances.
Initial investigation pointed to the family's opposition to the woman's relationship.
"The family members of the woman saw her with the man, and she was taken back home. We got to know that she was beaten up and even locked inside the house for some days," a source said.
Further investigation into the matter is underway, police added.
