Earlier this week BJP leader Varun Gandhi claimed on Wednesday that ration card holders were forced to buy the national flag and said it would be unfortunate if celebrations marking the 75th anniversary of independence fell on the poor.
Congress leader Sachin Sawant, on Thursday, alleged the BJP, of fabricating the tri-color. The Congress leader shared a video that shows the tricolor which has the BJP’s election symbol on it. The fabricated flag’s proportion is also seen to be mismatched and has more saffron and white.
“Very annoying… BJP workers were waving national flag with BJP symbol and party name in Parbhani. What is treason if this is not? @INCMaharashtra MLA of @SureshWarpudkar Complained to the Superintendent of Police. @BJP4Maharashtra should take responsibility and apologize to the country, the Congress leader said.
अतिशय संतापजनक….
भाजपाचे कार्यकर्ते परभणीमध्ये भाजपाचे चिन्ह व पक्षाचे नाव असलेले राष्ट्रध्वज जनतेत वाटत होते. हा देशद्रोह नाही तर काय? @INCMaharashtra चे आमदार @SureshWarpudkar यांनी पोलिस अधीक्षकांकडे तक्रार केली. @BJP4Maharashtra ने जबाबदारी घेऊन देशाची माफी मागितली पाहिजे pic.twitter.com/HMSeJs74Ub— Sachin Sawant सचिन सावंत (@sachin_inc) August 11, 2022
