Anurag Manohar, the director of 'Ishq', said that any flag is allowed under the national flag in view of the fundamental freedoms envisioned in the Indian Constitution. The director wrote on his Facebook page that the agitation marked the recovery of Indian democracy which was lying on the ventilator. Anurag also extended his support to the farmers and their protest.
The director also attached pictures of the BJP flag hoisted above the Indian national flag and the Sikh flag and the Indian Kisan Union (Ugrahan) flag hoisted below the national flag at the Red Fort.
