Madras High Court Allows BJP's Bike Rally For Independence Day, Asks DGP To Not Prohibit Rallies Carrying National Flags With Dignity

The Madras High Court allowed a BJP bike rally carrying the national flag, overturning the denial by the police, who had cited law and order concerns. The court emphasized that carrying the national flag is a fundamental right under the Constitution, provided the rally adheres to public order and traffic regulations. This ruling underscores the balance between citizens' rights and the state's responsibility to maintain public order, particularly during political events.
