A police complaint was registered against 26 Opposition parties for ‘improper use’ of the INDIA name. The name of the Opposition alliance was coined as I.N.D.I.A. (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance) on Tuesday at 26 parties’ meeting in Bengaluru.
Expressing objection to the name of the Opposition coalition, the complaint was lodged at the Barakhamba police station in New Delhi. The complainant claimed that the name – ‘INDIA’ is a violation of the Emblems Act. Under the act, no one can use the name of India for his personal benefit. It is also said this has hurt the sentiments of the people.
“26 political parties have misused the name of the country,” the complaint read.
