    People in power and most people seem to have forgotten the importance of Hoisting the Tricolour. Har Ghar Tiranga for three days is not right as per Flag Hoisting Rule. But everything is changed as per everyone's convenience. Earlier Flag could be hoisted in the morning & had to be taken down by sunset - this rule is also taken away per convenience sake. Private vehicles flying National flag-is also not right. But that is done by many vehicles this time. My concern is also that what happens to these flags once 15th August is over? You see them on road sides, in garbage heaps around the city thrown without maintaining the decorum and dignity. We seem to be missing ways to respect & preserve dignity of our country's flag.

    This act demonstrates how much their true patriotism and love for the country is. A definite case of sedition and insult to the National flag.

    That proves how BJP members are against their own country. Send them to Pakistan to raise their Saffron flag. India is facing another East India type of invasion.
