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.
