Anantnag, August 12:
A Tricolour rally was organized by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Housing Colony Khanabal as part of the “Har Ghar Tiranga” campaign. The rally was led by former MLC Sufi Yousuf.
On the occasion, Sufi Yousuf said that he has been carrying the national Tricolour with the BJP for the past 27 years and continues to stand with the party and the national flag with the same spirit and commitment.
Regarding the issue concerning the district committee, Sufi Yousuf said that the existing committee consists of 22 members, of whom 14 have been removed. He said that under such circumstances, the committee should be dissolved so that the matter can be taken forward in a transparent and fair manner.
He further said that the committee constituted in connection with the Tricolour rally should hear the views of both sides before reaching any decision. All concerned parties should be taken into confidence, and a final decision should be made only after examining the positions and facts presented by both sides.
Sufi Yousuf said that the Tricolour is a symbol of the country’s unity, integrity and national spirit, while the “Har Ghar Tiranga” campaign aims to further strengthen this spirit of patriotism.
