Bengaluru: The Karnataka Congress has decided to hold state-wide protests on February 21 demanding the resignation of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister K S Eshwarappa over his statement regarding the national flag.
Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president D K Shivakumar urged all the district and block Congress presidents and workers to hold protests near the party headquarters of their assembly constituencies.
He also said that the party is expecting maximum participation in the protests. Also, petitions will be submitted to tahsildars and deputy commissioners after the protests.
Earlier, Congress legislators spent the whole night inside the Karnataka Legislative Assembly and Council, escalating demand for the dismissal of Minister K S Eshwarappa.
KS Eshwarappa had claimed ‘bhagwa dhwaj’ (saffron flag) may become the national flag sometime in the future. However, he had also said tricolor is the national flag now, and it should be respected by everyone, according to PTI.
