Simranjit Singh Mann, a parliamentarian from Panjab’s Sangrur has called for a “boycott” of the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign, asking Panjabis to “hoist Kesari flags atop their homes on Independence Day” instead.
Simranjit’s statement has evoked widespread criticism, with political parties calling for action against the “rabble-rouser” MP from Sangrur.
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann reacting to the statement said that “those opposing the Tricolour have taken oath on the Constitution.”
Mann, in a video, had appealed to the ‘panth’ to hoist saffron flags and ‘Nishan Sahib’ on their houses on August 14 and 15.
