All states can have their own flags but with certain rules, says Shashi Tharoor

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Sunday said that he was not opposed to states having their own flags, as long as they observed a system of checks and balances.

Speaking on the idea of each state to have their own flag, Tharoor said,''There should be clear rules that flag of state cannot be substitute of national flag and it should be smaller and fly lower''

So as long as there are set rules for it I don't see any issue in states having their flags.

Tharoor also said, "I suggest all states in the country have their own flags."

Tharoor who spoke about yet another controversy that is ripe in Karnataka said that having Hindi as a national language would make it unfair for those people who do not speak Hindi.

When asked about Subramanian Swamy's plea for a court-monitored CBI-led SIT probe into the death of his wife Sunanda Pushkar, Tharoor slammed the BJP leader for attempting to seek public attention.

"No one in this country can be more anxious than me to see the conclusion of this issue. I will cooperate with authorities and not with obstreperous and publicity seeking attempts by others," said Tharoor.
