India to hoist Tricolour taller than Pakistan at Hussainiwala Joint Check Post
Ferozepur, January 25, 2019: To beat Pakistan in installing the tallest flag on their side, the national flag of India will be installed taller than Pakistan, on Indian side at Hussainiwala Joint Check Post.
On seeing the Pakistan flag already erected at a height of 160 feet, Tript Rajinder Singh Bajwa, Cabinet Minister expressed his desire to erect India’s national flag at a height of 180 feet and announced a grant of Rs.20 lac.
There can be no other but psychological reason behind installing the tallest flag at Hussainiwala as Pakistan flag has already been installed. In fact, the visitor to Retreat Ceremony has felt that the tallest flag on Indian side should also be installed which could be seen from a distance to lower their prestige.
Added here, thousands of people visit every day the Retreat Ceremony at Hussainiwala by the jawans of BSF and Pakistan Rangers. At the ceremony, the jawans of both the sides, present a show of the signs of their gestures to dominate each other which is enjoyed by the visitors on both the sides followed by shouting of patriotic slogans like Bharat Mata Ki Jai, Vande Mataram.
