T Flag Hoisting Insult: Lagadapati

Taking a serious note on Telangana leaders hoisting a Telangana flag to mark Independence Day across districts in the region, Vijayawada MP Lagadapati Rajagopal on Monday stated that he would raise this issue in the Parliament seeking serious action on the guilty.

Talking to media persons after hoisting the Tricolour at the party office, Lagadapati Rajagopal said that hoisting another flag on Independence Day was against the spirit of the Constitution, and that he would ensure that stringent action would be initiated against guilty.

Stating that he would raise this issue in the Parliament, seeking action on guilty, he said that there was no need for states to have separate flags.

He alleged that leaders were hoisting the Telangana flag to provoke people in the region, and opined that that the nation has only one flag and that that should be hoisted on Independence Day.

Meanwhile, stating that the people of the state were "observing YSR Congress Party president Jaganmohan Reddy's movements closely", Lagadapathi Rajagopal demanded to know why Jagan did not raise his voice against the corruption that took place during the tenure of former chief minister YSR. (INN)
