Outrage As Congress Man Takes Off Siddaramaiah's Shoes Holding Tricolour

The Karnataka chief minister has been under fire from opposition parties over the alleged MUDA scam. A video showing a Congress worker taking off the shoes of Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah with the Indian flag in his hand has prompted an attack from the BJP, which has accused the Congress leader of “insulting the nation’s pride”. Mr Siddaramaiah is already under fire from the BJP and its ally, the Janata Dal (Secular), over his alleged involvement in the Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) ‘scam’. The video has also sparked outrage among some people on social media, who said it was distasteful and called for the flag being respected.
