Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council B.K. Hariprasad has said that the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee will hold a meeting on Wednesday to decide on the course of action on the recent amendment to National Flag Code by the Union government allowing production of the flag using polyester cloth.
He was speaking to presspersons after visiting the national flag manufacturing unit at Khadi Gramodyoga Samyukta Sangha, Bengeri, in Hubballi on Monday. The sangha houses the country’s lone BIS-recognised flag manufacturing unit.
Mr. Hariprasad said that it was sad that at a time when the country was celebrating its platinum jubilee of Independence, the Centre was disgracing the flag by amending the code. “The Congress will stand with khadi and village industries on this issue,” he said
