India's tallest national flag was on Monday unfurled in Belagavi (also known as Belgaum) in Karnataka. The event was attended by leaders, schoolchildren, and leaders of Hindu, Muslim, Christian and Sikh institutions at the Kote Kere front. Where size is concerned, this flag in Belgaum beats the one at the India - Pakistan border at Attari in Punjab.
Belagavi District Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi unfurled the 9, 600 sq ft wide flag on a 110 - metre - tall flagpole at 9:30 am. The flagpole erected at Fort Lake is 1 ft taller than the one in Attari. The Hindu quoted Jarkiholi as saying: “The BJP is not the sole custodian of nationalism. We are all proud Indians. We respect the principles of unity and harmony enshrined in the Constitution. India is a country of many faiths and all are equal here. â€
