| Rahul ‘disrespects’ national flag as his cutout was bigger than tricolour | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Jan 30: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is facing criticism for disrespecting, and dishonouring the national flag while unfurling the Tricolour at Srinagar’s historic Lal Chowk on Sunday.
Some BJP leaders including Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar lambasted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for “violating” the flag code while unfurling the Tricolour at Srinagar’s historic Lal Chowk on Sunday.
Interacting with a news agency, Rajeev Chandrasekhar said, “completely atrocious that the so-called leader of a party will hoist the National Flag but do so in total violation of the Flag Code by putting his own cutout that overwhelmed the Flag.”
“In a way, it’s a demonstration of the psychology of a dynast, where for him his image and picture and his name on schemes or his father’s name on schemes or his grandmother’s name on schemes takes precedence over National Flag & what is right for the country,” the Minister added.

As per the videos and pictures shared by the Congress cutouts of Rahul Gandhi installed at the venue were seen to be higher and larger than that of the national flag which is a violation of the flag code.
As per section 2 of the Prevention of Insult of National Honour Act 1971, “no other flag or bunting shall be placed higher than or above or side by side with the National Flag”. |
