The Udupi Congress office has demanded disciplinary action after a local government official was seen displaying an RSS flag during the annual fair at the Shri Kaveri Temple.
Witnesses reported that the flag was hoisted near the main shrine, drawing criticism from Congress members who argue that it blurs the line between state administration and communal symbols. The party has lodged a formal complaint with the district authorities, citing constitutional provisions that separate religion from governmental function.
In response, the Congress has called for an inquiry into the incident and urged the removal of the flag from all public venues. Impact: The action sought by Congress highlights ongoing concerns over political influence in religious affairs in the region. Source: Google News – Udupi District.
