Rijiju Warns Protesters Who Trampled Indian Flag at New York Demonstration

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju issued a stern warning to protesters who were seen stepping on the Indian national flag during a demonstration in New York. Rijiju stated that such actions would 'cost them dearly,' signaling potential legal consequences for those involved. The incident sparked widespread outrage on Indian social media, where many users condemned the act as deeply disrespectful. Several social media users urged authorities to identify whether any of the protesters held Indian citizenship, which could make them liable under Indian law. The episode has reignited debate over the legal and moral boundaries of political protest involving national symbols abroad.
