DYFI unfurls tricolour in an angry tit-for-tat
Protests raged against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) here on Friday condemning the hanging of a Jai Sriram banner from the municipal building as part of the BJP’s victory celebrations.
The Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) kick-started the protest and it was soon taken up by the Youth Congress. Tension gripped the municipal office premises as the protesters tried to break the police cordon.
In a tit-for-tat gesture, the DYFI unfurled a tricolour from atop the municipal building having the same shape and size of the BJP’s controversial Jai Sriram banner, and shouted “down with communalism, long live secularism.”
