All Parties Sikh Coordination Committee (APSCC) has castigated the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) for remaining adamant to hoist the tricolor at Clock Tower in Lal Chowk on January 26.
“It is a matter of fact that highest number of tricolors are hoisted in Kashmir on January 26. Flags are hoisted at nearly 400 to 450 places across the Valley. At the famous Lal Chowk, there are more than 10 places where the tricolor is hoisted, including Clock Tower Lal-Chowk, Palladium Chowk, Needous Hotel, Radio Kashmir, TV Station, Telephone Exchange and at many other places. These flags are hoisted every year by the force personnel,” the Chairman of APSCC, Jagmohan Singh Raina, said in a statement.
“We want to live in peace. We had found a little hope for peace after a long turmoil but once again the BJP - the tall national party - is playing with the sentiments of minority by making them feel that majority in India can any time dominate the minority on issues which have nothing positive with respect to nation’s interest,” he added.
