EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU Jan 27 : Despite strict police bandobast, BJP leaders hoisted tricolour in Srinagar on January 26 in keeping with its objective for flag hoisting in the summer capital of J&K.
Four BJP senior leaders—Deputy leader of Legislator party Jugal Kishore Sharma, MLAs Shyam Choudhary and Prof. Gharu Ram and BJYM National Vice-president Pawan Khajuria—had flown to Srinagar from New Delhi on January 25. However, they were detained by the security personnel at the Airport, where the BJP leaders also held dharna and raised slogans against the government for its highhandedness. The authorities whisked the leaders to some unknown destination and kept them lodged in some safe house with heavy security cover.
The leaders, however, managed to get a flag and hoisted it on a building in Srinagar near Lal Chowk. They also managed to perform all the formalities connected with the flag hoisting. The authorities, later, shifted them to another place and finally took them to airport today, where from they flew to Jammu—the winter capital of the state.
BJP kept its promise of hoisting the flag in Srinagar despite its hundreds of activists and leaders were taken into custody.
Meanwhile, on the occasion of 62nd Republic Day, BJP State President Shamsher Singh Manhas along with other leaders hoisted the tri-colour at party headquarters.
The party activists also distributed sweets on the occasion.
Manhas said `` right from the Independence of the country, we have been working towards strengthening the national forces in the state and also for abolition of separate constitution and separate flag which has induced a sense of separatism among the people here’’. He said today’s flag hoisting has more significance as Rashtriya Ekta Yatra has successfully culminated with the BJYM activists reaching Srinagar with tri-colour despite heavy odds. He said that the party will continue to work for the full integration of the state with the rest of the country and to ensure that the dream of great leaders like Dr. Shyama Prasad Mookherjee comes to be true.
