Karnataka set to have own state flag, committee looks into legal sanctity
In the year 2012 when a similar demand was made, the BJP which was in power in Karnataka had said that it could accept such suggestions.
The Congress in Karnataka has constituted a nine member committee to design a state flag. The decision to set up a committee was made after representations were made by several activists.
A TOI report states that an order dated June 6 nominated principal secretary of the Kannada and culture department as chairperson of the committee. The order, signed on behalf of the governor by G Annapurna, under secretary of the Kannada and culture department, reads: "The committee must ready a design for a separate state flag and submit a report on providing it a legal sanctity."

It had also told the Karnataka High Court that it had not accepted suggestions to declare the red and yellow Kannada flag as the official state flag. Having a separate flag would go against the "unity and integrity of the country," the BJP had also said.
