BELGAUM, SEPT. 21. The Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) member, Shankar Munvalli, who has been accused of fabricating scenes of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) activists showing disrespect to the Tricolour, today claimed that he had filed a petition urging the Karnataka High Court to direct the Union Home Ministry and the State Government to take steps to prevent "insult" to the Tricolour. He told presspersons here that the High Court, however, passed an order on his petition advising him to approach the State Government first. If the Government did not respond to his plea, only then he could approach the court, the order stated. Mr. Munvalli said the BJP leaders and workers had been disrespecting the Tricolour ever since the former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Uma Bharati, left Bhopal to surrender before the Hubli court. On the allegation that he had fabricated some photographs and video film and made them public to embarrass the BJP, which had launched a "tiranga yatra", he demanded that an inquiry be ordered into the allegation.
