Story:
With BJP planning to hoist national flag in Srinagar on the Republic Day, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said parties should desist from scoring “political points” or “promoting divisive agendas” and peace should not be disturbed in the “sensitive” Jammu and Kashmir.
Observing that the Republic Day is “a solemn occasion”, he said, “It is not an occasion to score political points, to embarrass state and local administrations, to create situations that could lead to entirely avoidable problems, or to promote divisive agendas.”
“It is my hope that all our citizens and political parties will heed this call and will do nothing that will disturb peace and harmony, or detract in any way from the dignity of Republic Day,” Singh said in a statement.
He said it was “all the more important to observe maximum restraint particularly in a sensitive state like Jammu and Kashmir.”
Though he did not name anybody, he was apparently referring to BJP’s ‘Ekta Yatra‘ which is planned to proceed to Srinagar to hoist the national tricolor at the historic Lal Chowk, because of which the government is apprehending trouble.
The Jammu and Kashmir government has made it clear that it will not allow hoisting of the national flag by BJP on that day but the party is adamant on going ahead with the plan.
Singh observed that over the years, the states have devised their own time-tested and publicly-accepted procedures for the Republic Day celebrations within a common national framework.
Here’s the situation. This republic day, the nationalist party BJP wants to hoist the Indian national flag in Lal Chowk, a troubled area in Kashmir. The spot has frequently been witness to struggles between Indian forces, Kashmiri separatist forces, and Pakistan-aided militants. The J&K government calls this attempt by the BJP a provocation to violence. The BJP and its supporters say it is a shame to say that hoisting the Indian national flag on Indian ground is a cause for trouble. The central government, curiously, has remained silent on the matter.
