Dehradun (Uttarakhand) [India], February 27 : The Uttarakhand Pradesh Congress Committee has lambasted the leaders of the ruling Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) for insulting the tricolour by trampling one made of flowers under their feet.

Cracking down on the BJP over the incident, Mahara further detailed the matter adding, "On the one hand, an attempt is made to create an atmosphere of disharmony in the whole country by wearing saffron clothes in a film, while on the other hand, the leaders of the BJP are openly showing their petty mentality by trampling the national flag made of flowers."
