Controversy over Sonia's b'day celebration

The celebration of Sonia Gandhi's birthday by Congress party here has run into controversy with the BJP strongly protesting cutting of a tricolour-shaped cake on the occasion, alleging it was an insult to the national flag.
Local newspapers carried photographs of Chhattisgarh Congress party leader Subhash Sharma celebrating Sonia's birthday by cutting tricolour-shaped cake.
Taking objection to it, the state BJP unit today staged a protest rally and demanded the Congress leaders apologise for the "blunder".
BJP's state unit Vice President Sachhidanand Upasane alleged it was "an insult" to the national flag. The state Congress leaders were so much engrossed in praising Sonia that they forgot to show respect to the national flag, he charged.
Demanding action, the BJP leaders said that they would lodge a police complaint in this connection.
City chief of Congress Indarchand Dhadiwal, however, has rejected the allegation that it was a tricolour-shaped cake.
There were many colours given to the cake and there was no Ashoka pillar on it, he said.
