BJP mulls over moving court for being prevented from hoisting flag in J&K
Party veteran LK Advani said the way special trains carrying BJP workers to Jammu and Srinagar were either cancelled or diverted had not happened even during the Emergency.
Dubbing the move of the Jammu & Kashmir government and the Centre to prevent BJP leaders from hoisting the national flag in Srinagar as "criminal", BJP today said the party could move the court against the "unconstitutional and illegal" stand taken by the state administration."What has happened in J&K to deal with BJP's campaign to hoist the national flag at Lal Chowk is something which is totally indefensible....it is illegal and criminal. I think we should knock at the doors of the courts in respect of some of (these issues)," party veteran LK Advani said.He said the way special trains carrying BJP workers to Jammu and Srinagar were either cancelled or diverted had not happened even during the Emergency.Advani was addressing a gathering of BJP workerrs to felicitate Leaders of Opposition in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley respectively, and Ananth Kumar who had participated in the Ekta Yatra undertaken by the party's youth wing.
