RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat hoists national flag at Kerala school
Thiruvanthapuram, Jan 26 (IBNS) : Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Friday unfurled the national tricolour on the Republic Day at a private school in Kerala’s Palakkad town, media reports said.
Bhagwat reached the Vyas Vidya Peethom, a CBSE-affiliated higher secondary school with some functionaries and unfurled the flag and addressed the gathering on the occasion.
However, the CPI(M)-led state Government has a standing order for all state-run and aided schools that the national flag will be hoisted only by heads of educational institutions.
Last year a controversy arose when Bhagwat unfurled the tricolour at Karnakiamman Higher Secondary School on the outskirts of Palakkad town on the Independence Day as the school authorities defied an instruction issued by the district collector.
