Congress withdraws decision to show black flags to Narendra Modi

Uttarakhand Congress today withdrew its decision to boycott Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Haridwar on Friday.

“We have called off the protest march programme showing black flags to Modi,” PCC spokesman Dhirendra Pratap said.

Modi is visiting Haridwar on Friday to attend a programme of yoga guru Ramdev’s Patanjali yogpeeth.

Terming Modi as a “symbol of communalism”, Congress had earlier announced it will boycott his visit to the holy city.
