Don't use Republic Day to score points: PM to BJP
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today stepped into the raging controversy over the BJP's Ekta Yatra to Jammu and Kashmir to try and hoist the national flag at Lal Chowk in Srinagar. In a hard-hitting statement, the PM says, "The Republic Day is not an occasion to score political points or promote divisive agendas. Call upon all concerned to observe maximum restraint in a sensitive state like Jammu and Kashmir."
