Why is patriotism of particular community being questioned for using star in tricolor flag?

Guwahati, January 19, 2019:

How many of us, as Indians, really recognize the Indian national flag and the components that complete it? Since the very days of school, we are all taught that the Indian National Flag is composed of tri-colour (saffron, white and green) and the Ashok Chakra (with 24 spokes in it) without which the flag is considered incomplete.

Now let’s get back to description of a case where the tri-colour is used with a star in it which was used by the Religious Minority Council of Assam. Controversy has been raised over the council for using a star (which is generally associated with the religion of Islam) with tri-colour that resembles the colour of the National Flag.

We have often seen many parties, especially one of the major political parties of India, Congress, using the same tri-colour with the symbol of a hand in it and even in Assam, the Bodoland People’s Front (BPF) using the symbol of Nagol (Plow) within the tri-colour. But the same tri-colour, when used by a particular community in the state, turns out to be a big controversy all over.

That’s where the question arises regarding the patriotism of a particular community in this BJP-led government. At a time where the entire state is undergoing a threat to its existence of indigenous community regarding the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, situations like this have created a threat and also identity crisis of the particular community living in the state and calls into question the possibility of discrimination based on religion in a secular country, India.
