A law student from Mumbai University, Ashish Rai, has written a letter to the Chief Justice of India, requesting him to take suo motu cognizance against the “anti-social elements” who waved the flag of another community in place of the national flag at the Red Fort in the name of Farmers Republic Day Tractor Rally organised by the farmers on Tuesday.
In his letter, Ashish Rai has written that the tractor rally was organized by a group of farmers on 26 January. But the tractor rally event was terrorized by some anti-social elements, leading to damage of public property and breach of the country’s heritage Red Fort.
The way the flag of another community was waved at the Red Fort in Delhi in place of the national flag of India, hurt the honour and dignity of the country, the letter added.
The whole country is hurt by this incident; because of this incident, the national flag has also been insulted with the Constitution of the country. The country’s devotional spirit has been hurt; so, these activities have damaged the Constitutional sentiments of the Indian citizen, the letter said.
It is, therefore, a humble request to the Supreme Court that a Special Investigation Committee be formed on this entire matter to conduct a rigorous inquiry against the anti-social element involved in this unconstitutional activity so as to punish the accused, the letter added.
