| After Joshi, Singh unfurled tricolor at Lal Chowk in 2008 | | |
Early Times Report
Srinagar, Aug 14: The BJP leader R P Singh, who was in charge of Jammu and Kashmir affairs had hoisted the national flag at Lal Chowk on January 26, 2008, exactly 17 years after party senior leader Murli Manohar Joshi had unfurled the tricolor on January 26, 1991 at the same place.
Singh in 2008 had hoisted the tri-colour in the presence of nearly 200 supporters including party's then Kashmir unit President Sofi Mohammad Yousuf.
"This place used to be a den of separatists. This is our message to them that Kashmir is an integral part of India," Singh had said.
However, after assuming power BJP in 2015 has not even issued a single statement about it planning to hoist the tricolor at Lal Chowk despite all the resources being available. |
