'Unscheduled' flag hoisting at Pudukkottai DMK office sparks row
The New Indian Express Tiruchy
|June 04, 2025
THE DMK's district party office in the city was witness to commotion on Tuesday when Pudukkottai city secretary (in-charge) V Rajesh hoisted the party flag at two separate spots on the premises in violation of norms and absence of senior leaders.
He, however, maintained that he was simply "replacing the worn-out flags" when no formal flag hoisting ceremony was scheduled at the office despite cadre thronging the premises in view of the birth anniversary celebrations of party patriarch M Karunanidhi.
