BJP never had any respect for national flag: Akhilesh Yadav

TIL Desk/National/Lucknow/ Samajwadi Party (SP) President Akhilesh Yadav has urged people to hoist the national flag from their houses from August 9 to 15 as he accused the BJP of feigning to respect the tri-colour.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had earlier announced the celebration of an ‘Independence Week’ from Aug 11-17 with slogan ‘Har Ghar Tiranga.’ Mr Yadav in a statement issued here appealed the public to hoist the national flag from a week ahead of the Independence Day, and questioned the BJP’s patriotic credentials.

Mr Yadav said “Those who had no role in the freedom movement of the country are working in name of patriotism. What respect will they give to the martyrs when they were not even distantly associated with the freedom movement?” “The truth is that the BJP and its parent organisation RSS have never had any respect for the national flag,” Mr Yadav said.

“Why was the national flag not being hoisted from the Nagpur headquarters of the Sangh? The BJP and RSS are engaged in spreading confusion among people,” he said. Mr Yadav said the week ahead of the Independence Day will be dedicated to the memory of the freedom movement during which people should pay homage to the martyrs, the Indian Constitution, and the democratic system.
