Mr. Raj mentioned a letter was issued on Monday to all mutawallis (caretakers) on this regard, saying the tricolour is “an emblem of honour and delight” which isn’t linked to any faith.
The letter addressed to the mutawallis mentioned, “Under the above topic, it’s knowledgeable that our 78th Independence Day will likely be celebrated on fifteenth August 2025 this yr. On the auspicious event of this nationwide pageant, the nationwide flag needs to be hoisted on the most important gate of all mosques/madrasas/dargahs located in Chhattisgarh. Understand the significance of Independence Day and preserve the dignity of this event by displaying patriotism, mutual unity and brotherhood.”
On the necessity to concern such an order, Mr. Raj mentioned, throughout his dialogue with some mutawallis, they refused to hoist the tricolour.
Above faith’
“Respecting the tricolour is above any faith. They had an issue in hoisting the tricolour and we have been compelled to concern the order that flag hoisting needs to be achieved in entrance of the primary entry of each mosque and within the presence of the Imam, mutawalli or mosque committee members,” the Waqf Board chairman mentioned.
He added that those that didn’t love the tricolour and the nation, had no “proper to stay on the land of Bharat Mata”. “This will make it clear that individuals who liked the nation have been totally different from spiritual fundamentalists,” he added.
