Patna, Aug 11: Senior BJP leader Ram Surat Rai on Thursday alleged that disrespect was shown to the national flag in Muzaffarpur district of Bihar, as disfigured tricolours were hoisted.
The former minister also linked the alleged incident to the formation of a new government in the state, comprising parties like the RJD, JD(U), Congress and the Left.
A video has gone viral on social media of disfigured tricolours, one tied to the branch of a tree and another hoisted atop a house, which local BJP leaders claim to be of Aurai, the constituency of Rai.
The tricolor was insulted by the former RJD supporter Mo Israel at Pakar Chowk under the Aurai Legislative Assembly of Bihar. Instead of Ashoka Chakra in the tricolor, the Islamic symbol Chand Tara is printed.

”Just the day before you were sworn in as the chief minister of a new government and today an activist of your alliance partner replaced the Asoka Chakra with a crescent and star, in a disrespect to the national flag which BJP will not tolerate,” Rai said without referring to any particular party.

Sub Divisional Officer (East), Muzaffarpur, Gyan Prakash said, ”Police officials concerned have been asked to verify the allegation and take necessary action”.
