The dangerously ill-conceived idea of a separate State flag for Karnataka, which surfaced after the Congress government formed a committee to explore the possibilities and formalities in the matter, must be opposed by one and all (“The Kannada flag, et cetera”, July 22). While Kashmir continues to burn as separatists run riot, one wonders why the Congress is trying to create more trouble. Sadly, the media has not opposed the development on the scale it deserves. Hopefully better sense will prevail and policymakers and constitutional heads will block any such move. Nothing can be more important than the unity and integrity of the country.
