SRINAGAR,Jan 3: Senior leader of the ruling PDP in Jammu and Kashmir Tariq Hamid Karra today said the special status of the state and its flag was unquestionable and beyond adjudication by the judiciary as it has been guaranteed by the Constitution of India and ratified by Parliament. "J&K's special status, including the status of the state flag, is unquestionable and beyond the adjudication of the judiciary as the same has been guaranteed by the Constitution of India and ratified by Parliament and the state's Constituent Assembly," Karra said in a statement here. Commenting on the controversy about the hoisting of the state flag alongside the national flag, the PDP leader called for utmost judicial restraint on sensitive matters saying the judges should, "instead of unnecessarily meddling in sensitive issues, uphold the established precedent handed down by the Constitution and the legislature on such issues".
