Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar trained guns at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over the size his of his cutout during the unfurling of Tricolour at Lal Chowk in Srinagar .
While speaking to media, Chandrasekhar said, “Completely atrocious that the so-called leader of a party will hoist the National Flag but do so in total violation of Flag Code by putting his own cutout that overwhelmed the Flag.”
“In a way, it’s a demonstration of 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 and what is right for the country,” he added.
Further talking about it, the Union Minister said, “I would be very embarrassed if I were to do things like this. But I guess, it’s in DNA of dynastic party that even when you are hoisting National Flag, you want to overwhelm that flag and violate the Flag Code by putting your own cutout behind the flag.”
Rahul Gandhi unfurled the Tricolour at the historic clock tower of Lal Chowk, popularly known as ‘Ghanta Ghar’, as part of his Bharat Jodo Yatra on Sunday, marking the end of the Yatra.
Gandhi, along with his sister and Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, party leaders and workers, completed the final lap of the yatra yesterday in Srinagar.
