SRINAGAR — Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and National Conference (NC) Vice-President Omar Abdullah on Wednesday accused authorities of insulting Tricolor on the eve of 73rd Republic Day.
Omar while accusing authorities of unfurling tricolour at Clock Tower Lal Chowk for ‘photo ops’ said “tricolour disappears in less than a couple of hours. It didn’t even remain there for the day.”
“Why insult the National Flag Flag of India just for a photo op? Is this what patriotism & nationalism has come to? Photo ops & trolling?,” Omar said in a tweet.
“If you don’t know your Indian Flag Code then here is a bit of help – “As far as possible display from sunrise to sunset” which means that it can be flown 24×7, 365 days a year as long as other provisions of the flag code are followed,” he added.
