Once Again, 14-Year-Old Tanzeem Merani Vows To Unfurl Indian Flag At Lal Chowk In Srinagar

Darpan News Desk IANS, 04 Aug, 2017 02:57 PM

The ongoing unrest in Jammu and Kashmir has failed to waver the determination of a Gujarat teenager to hoist the Indian flag in Srinagar.

Tanzeem Merani (14), hailing from Ahmedabad, has vowed to hoist the tricolour at Lal Chowk in Srinagar on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, which falls on August 07.

Merani said she wants to celebrate the festival with soldiers posted in the Valley

Notably, Merani had attempted to unfurl the tricolour in Srinagar on August 15, 2016. However, she was barred from doing so.

“Last time, I was stopped at the airport itself, and I had to unfurl the flag there. However, I will make sure I do it this time at Lal Chowk,” said Merani.

She threatened to sit on hunger strike in case authorities stop her again from unfurling the tricolour in Srinagar.
