UP CM Yogi Adityanath recently made a remark about Congress

UP CM Yogi Adityanath recently made a remark about Congress during a Tiranga Yatra, claiming people once had to “fight” to hoist the national flag at home. The remark sparked reactions online, with several users questioning the claim. Fact-check: The claim is misleading. The Flag Code already allowed members of the public to display the national flag. The 2022 amendment allowed it to be flown at homes day and night. The issue also dates back to the Naveen Jindal case, in which the Supreme Court in 2004 recognised the right to fly the national flag as a fundamental right under Article 19(1)(a).
