Chhattisgarh PCC President Mohan Markam on Friday sent a tricolour to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat and urged him to hoist it at the RSS headquarters in Nagpur.
Markam sent the national flag made from Khadi by courier, a Congress party statement said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has appealed to people to use the tricolour in their display picture or profile picture of social media accounts from August 2 to 15 and to hoist the tricolour atop their homes on August 15.
“But the official Twitter account of the RSS, including that of its chief Mohan Bhagwat, have not put the tricolour in their social media profiles, rejecting the PM’s appeal,” the release quoted Markam as saying.
Markam asked the Prime Minister to request the RSS chief to hoist the tricolour in Nagpur, claiming the national flag had not been hoisted there in the last 52 years.
