Saffron Flag Showdown: High Drama In Karnataka Assembly, Congress MLAs Stage Mid-Night Protest

Karnataka assembly saw an overnight stir by the Congress MLAs – led by former chief minister Siddarmaiah – amid escalating row over state minister KS Eshwarappa’s “saffron flag may become the national flag in future” remark. The minister, however, has found support from the BJP government.

The 73-year-old minister’s comment has drawn huge criticism. Dismissing the protests, he said on Thursday – “Let them protest. I won’t budge.”

Visuals showed DK Shivakumar and other opposition MLAs inside the assembly on Thursday night holding a sit-in, and raising slogans. They demanded a sedition case be filed against the minister.

Big business houses, religion and godi media or biased media are disrupting demcratic setup from outside. Whereas pilitics, bureacracy and judiciary are manupulatng democracy from within power of government. Think about the solution to set right the democracy by over coming these hurdles.
