Chikkamagaluru police detain four minors for raising Palestinian flag while riding bike


Chikkamagaluru, Sep 16 (IANS): Karnataka Police detained four minors on Monday for raising a Palestinian flag while riding a bike in Chikkamagaluru district, police sources confirmed. The detained minors are being questioned regarding the incident.

The boys are being asked how they obtained the Palestinian flag and whether they were instructed to ride around the city holding the flag or if they acted on their own.

A police team, headed by an Inspector, has been formed to investigate the incident.

The police department is taking the case seriously and conducting a thorough probe.

Police are on high alert as the Eid Milad festival procession is set to pass through major arterial roads in Chikkamagaluru city.

A case has been registered at the Chikkamagaluru City Police Station.

The incident involving minors riding a two-wheeler, holding and waving a Palestinian flag, took place on Sunday, according to the police.

The authorities obtained a video of the incident, and given the sensitive situation in the state following the violence during the Ganesha idol immersion procession in Nagamangala, the police tracked down and detained the accused individuals.

Leader of Opposition and senior BJP leader, R Ashoka has condemned the incident and called for a probe by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).

Suspecting organised efforts to disturb peace in Karnataka, Ashoka stated, "The local police are finding it difficult to break through this organised and sponsored network, which is believed to have interstate and international connections. Therefore, I urge Home Minister G Parameshwara and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to immediately hand over these cases to the NIA for further investigation."

    "The Indian Penal Code (IPC) has specific provisions for every offense, with clear laws and punishments defined. Are you suggesting that individuals who raise the Indian flag in countries around the world should be publicly hanged? If so, where was this outcry when women and girls were being raped and murdered? Why was there no call for public hangings then? It seems inconsistent to demand such extreme measures selectively while remaining silent on far more heinous crimes."

    Wake up and drink the coffee bro. History is evidence that they will go only to the 'non peaceful' countries. Pleading asylum, to create a mess there. Every migration destination is in chaos .

    Is it illegal to hold other country flag in India ? In democratic country it is legal to hold any country flag and show their support. I think after 2014 we may be slowly changing to dictatorship than democratic. PN I don’t support Palestine or Israel.

    Well, given the state of affairs in the country , I think both the minors and the police are jobless. On one hand minors have nothing better to do and the police have nothing more serious to investigate. The people who say this is serious blah blah.. get triggered by these stupid acts of jobless people..

    From the report, one thing is quite obvious. For these minor persons, love for their motherland is sorely missing but their liking for a foreign nation with which they do not have even the remotest connection tells the story of the upbringing of the major minority of India.
