This article is biased in its very conceptual.. As though all other parties are secular, this article is completely against BJP..
Particularly, there is no justification for the muslims to oppose raising indian national flag at idgah maidan.. the issue is completely justifiable for the BJP.. they are also indians right..
Secondly, the familiar concept of "appease muslims, if you are secular" is again reminded in this article.

In my house myself and my family celeberate Independence Day & Republic day with all fervour & patriotism along with invited friends & guests. That doesnt mean that I will allow all & sundry on the street to enter my compound and do the same. Nor will any right minded citizen allow it.

The objection to raising of the national flag at the idgah maidan has to be seen in its correct perspective.The maidan is the largest open space in that area and some communal minded Hindus do not like Muslims to have control of such a large piece of land hence this stunt of raising the flag there.National flag cannot be raised by the public on private property without the consent of the owners. How would the RSS like if someone insisted on raising the national flag on their Headquartes in Nagpur? The trouble with us is that we jump to conclusion and take a biased view instead of analysing and understanding a problem created by communal and other anti national forces.

Hellow Madam, The ground was not a private property, it is a govt property whereby muslims were given permission to conduct namaz on certain days in a year.
The judgment of the High Court may be summarised as follows:
The Idgah Maidan is not the exclusive property of the Anjuman-e-Islam but belongs to what was by then the Hubli-Dharwad Municipal Corporation.
The Maidan was licensed to the Anjuman for purely religious purposes, that is, to offer prayers on two days in the years, the Bakrid and the Ramzaan.
The Anjuman may not use the property for any educational or commercial purpose.
The permanent structures already erected by the Anjuman may be demolished within 45 days.
The public (inclusive of the Muslim community) has no customary rights of the user on the property. Following this judgment, the Anjuman made a Special Leave Petition to the Supreme Court to appeal against the above judgment and sought a stay order against the demolition of the permanent structures. The stay was granted
