Amid the Har Ghar Titanga campaign launched by the central government ahead of the 75th Independence Day, a Muslim youth unfurled Pakistan’s national flag in Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh. The person has been identified as Salman.
According to reports, Salman is a resident of Bendupar Mustakil village of Kushinagar. He was seen hoisting the Pakistani flag on the terrace of his house, the video of which has gone viral over social media. The incident enraged the local people who immediately informed the police and asked the administration to take strict action.
The locals complained that Salman had engaged himself in anti-India activities by disrespecting the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign and hoisting the national flag of Pakistan instead. The Police reached the spot to verify the complaint and in immediate action asked Salman to take down the flag.
The Police also registered a complaint at the Taraya Sujan police station against the Islamist person in Kushinagar. Reports mention that the family of the accused had stopped him from hoisting the national flag of Pakistan, but to no avail. He did not agree with his family members and unfurled the Pakistani flag on the terrace of his house.
