Tiranga Yatra: ‘DMK Does Not Like The National Flag’ Says Annamalai After Police Deny Permission

Tamil Nadu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state president K Annamalai stated that the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) does not like the national flag after the police denied permission for motorcycle rallies with the tricolour. 

He added that permission was not granted even after the party office bearers informed that they would conduct it as per the date and route agreed to by the police.

Speaking about the Tiranga yatra and Har Ghar Tiranga initiatives, he said they aimed to increase awareness amongst the people and have the national flag flutter in all houses to celebrate Independence Day. 

“This is a big surprise that happens only in Tamil Nadu. The national flag itself is a problem for the DMK people. See how they are showing that they do not like the national flag. By denying permission for the vehicle rally, they have shown again their anger,” Annamalai stated.

This is not the first time the national flag has become an issue in the state. During a World Cup match between Afghanistan and Pakistan at the Chepauk stadium, police allegedly did not allow the Indian flag inside the stadium.
