'One nation can't have 2 flags': BJP condemns ex-J&K CM's tricolour comment

PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti came under attack for her comments on Indian flag.

Mufti recently said she won't raise the tricolour till J&K state flag is restored.

She made the comments with the flag of erstwhile J&K state on her table.

Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad called her comments anti-national.

He said, “We condemn how Mehbooba Mufti has insulted the Indian tricolour.

Her statement that she won't raise the tricolour until the J&K state flag is restored via Article 370 - there can't be any comment more objectionable than this.

The tricolour is India's national flag.

Jammu & Kashmir is an inviolable part of India.

Article 370 was removed as per Constitutional process.

Both Houses of Parliament cleared it.

Today, J&K has good administration, strict action against terror.

People are happy there.

To such a statement about not raising the tricolour till the state flag is restored, we want to say - Article 370 will never be restored.

It has ended.

One nation can't have two symbols, two chiefs.

There can't be two flags.”
