Jammu, January 14 (Scoop News) – Reiterating BJYM’s firm resolve to hoist national flag at Lal Chowk in Srinagar on the occasion of Republic Day, Jammu and Kashmir Bharatiya Janata party has claimed that it would not allow any political party doing politics over this issue as flag hoisting is the issue of integrity of the county and every citizen of India can hoist Indian flag in any corner of the country. Whether it is
This was claimed by the BJP State President, Shamsher Singh Manhas while addressing a press conference along with State Vice-President Sofi Yousuf and party MLA Ch. Sukhnandan at party headquarters on Friday.
Manhas criticized the statement made by the Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah that why BJYM is hoisting flag after 19 years. He clarified that Omar Abdullah has no knowledge over this issue as the party is hoisting the Indian flag by its party leaders in Lal Chowk every year since 1992 when the then BJP National President Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi along with other senior leaders hoisted the flag at the same spot.

He declared that our Yuva Morcha activists will not hesitate from sacrificing their lives for the noble cause.
