Udupi Congress Demands Action Over RSS Flag Display at Religious Gathering

The Udupi unit of the Indian National Congress has demanded a probe after a government official was photographed carrying an RSS flag during a religious ceremony at a local temple.

Party leaders argue that the flag, associated with the right‑wing Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, was displayed in a setting that should remain secular, citing the Indian Constitution’s mandate on separation of religion and state. They have filed a formal complaint with the district administration and urged the state government to take disciplinary action against the official.

Officials say the flag was carried as a personal gesture, not an official endorsement, and are reviewing the incident. The Congress party’s demand highlights broader tensions over the role of political ideology in public spaces. Source: Google News – Udupi District.
