In America, a Khalistan organization has warned of 'burning Indian flag'. This organization has said that it will burn this flag in front of the Indian Embassy building located in Washington DC on the occasion of Republic Day. The organization 'Sikh for Justice' has also sent an invitation to all its supporters to join this protest.
It is tragic that according to American law, such an event can not be stopped. The organization has requested the people in their invitation to demonstrate in a public park in front of the Indian Embassy located in Massachusetts Avenue in Washington, DC.
Khalistan organization said in its statement, "We will oppose Article 25 (b) of the Indian Constitution in which Sikhs are said to be Hindu." Significantly, the national flag is also dear to the Indians, and it is considered a criminal act to burn the nation's flag in India. But according to American law, doing so is not a crime. Apart from the 'first amendment' of the American Constitution, the 'rights' of burning or disrespecting the national flag of the protesters has also been protected.
Similarly, the U.S. Supreme Court twice has confirmed in 1989 and 1990 that the right to humiliate the American national flag also falls under a kind of freedom of expression. In the 1989 Texas vs. Johnson case, the U.S. Supreme Court declared the ban on the US flag being declared illegal.
The Indian government has often asked the American administration to stop anti-India demonstrations there, but every time from the US, the same answer is that these all come under the 'freedom of expression' under the American Constitution.
The Khalistan organization taking advantage of this legal path is preparing to perform anti-India demonstrations on the occasion of the 70th Republic Day of India. Sources in the Government of India say that they have already given information to many countries about this organization and its funding, and have expressed their concerns. This Khalistani organization advocates the alleged Kashmir movement while favoring Pakistan.
The US administration can not stop such a performance, even if it is in front of the Indian Embassy. But a statement from US President Donald Trump is interesting about this.
Donald Trump, tweeted on November 29, 2018, after being elected the president, "Nobody should have the right to burn the American flag, those who do so should punish them, strip their citizenship or take them Be put in jail for a year!
But at the moment, no law has been made in this regard. Now the concern of the Indian Embassy Administration is that the function of Republic Day will be dealt with efficiently without interference.
