Meanwhile, Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has also urged the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Uddhav Thackeray to take stern action against the accused.
Taking to twitter, he wrote,” Kannada flag, which is revered & approved by all Kannadigas, is our pride & identity. Insulting Kannada flag is insulting Karnataka & the emotions of Kannadigas. I urge Maharashtra CM to immediately arrest the anti-social elements who burnt our Kannada flag.”
Kannada flag, which is revered & approved by all Kannadigas, is our pride & identity.
Insulting Kannada flag is insulting Karnataka & the emotions of Kannadigas.
I urge @CMOMaharashtra to immediately arrest the anti-social elements who burnt our Kannada flag.
