Warrants issued against Chauhan, Sushma

Madhya Pradesh Congress demands immediate resignation of both leaders

A court in Sehore district of Madhya Pradesh on Thursday issued non-bailable warrants against Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan and Opposition leader in the Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj for dishonouring the Tricolour.

The additional district and sessions judge, however, stayed the order of the judicial magistrate first class and fixed December 1 as the next date for hearing. In a ceremony at Nasrullaganj to welcome Ms. Swaraj in March last year, a girl dressed as Bharat Mata reportedly held the Tricolour upside down.
