BJP Says CJP Leaders Detained for Peace Bond Breach, Not Flag Hoisting
BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra stated that Cockroach Janata Party leaders Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das were taken into judicial custody for breaching peace bonds, not for attempting to hoist the national flag. The Delhi High Court questioned the legal basis of their detention, leading to the withdrawal of the petition without ruling on its merits. Patra criticized the use of the Tricolour as a cover for unrest and linked protests to broader political challenges, while opposition parties denied these claims.
