An insult took place to National Flag during the inauguration of All India Civil Cricket Tournament in Vijayawada on Saturday.
CM Chandrababu Naidu was supposed to unfurl National Flag, SAAP Flag and Cricket Tourney Flag one after the other. However, The National Flag got struck while Chief Minister tried to unfurl it. Following which, Chandrababu Naidu unfurled the other two flags, offered a salute and sung the National Anthem. Later, Officials had removed the National Flag pole from the spot. After media covered the whole episode, The pole was brought back to the same place upon setting it right.
Offering a Salute and singing National Anthem without unfurling the National Flag is unacceptable. Such an insult to National Flag in the presence of CM and IAS Officers sends a wrong message.
Already, CM Chandrababu Naidu giving a miss to Republic Day celebrations is being debated widely. No other CM of Telugu State has done something like it before. Today's episode is drawing criticism towards the TDP Supremo.
