TRICOLOUR CAN’T BE INSULTED: MIN

NEW DELHI: The government on Wednesday denounced the unprecedented violence at the farmers' tractor rally on Republic Day, saying, "It can't be condemned enough". In its first official reaction since the widespread clashes, the government also promised action against those responsible. "Action should be against all of those who instigated others. India won't tolerate the manner in which the Tricolour was insulted at the Red Fort," said Union minister Prakash Javadekar, apparently citing the incident where protesters managed to hoist a Sikh religious flag, or Nishan Sahib", on an empty mast.
