J&K govt building, official cars won't fly two flags for now

Jammu, Jan 1 (IBNS): A court order that directed all government buildings and cars in Jammu and Kashmir to use both the national and state flag has been suspended for now on Friday, media reports said.

A Jammu and Kashmir high court's order on Dec 18, directing all government buildings in the state to hoist the state flag along with the national flag, has been put on hold for now.

The order of the single bench has been suspended on Friday by division bench of the high court.

Reacting to the move, former state Chief Minister Omar Abdullah tweeted: "Here's what I'll say - so long as J&K is a part of India the two flags will continue to fly & we'll take pride in it."

"Why is only J&K expected to respect the terms of accession while the rest of the country can disregard them with impunity?" he added.
