District police superintendent Khushal Sharma said, “a case has been registered and we are investigating the matter. The flags have been removed from the Vidhan Sabha gate. Some miscreants did put them up late in the night.”

Giving more details Ms Shilpi Beakta, a sub-divisional magistrate said, “we received information about the incident at around 7.30 a.m. The police was called in and the flags have been removed. The walls have been painted again. It is an alert call for us. A case under HP Open Places Prevention of Disfigurement Act 1985 has been registered.”

Critical of the states security apparatus Sudhir Sharma, National Secretary of Congress took to twitter saying,” It is unfortunate that the flag of Khalistan at the entrance of the Dharamsala assembly and slogans are written on the walls, while the non working of CCTV and the absence of security personnel raises question marks on the administration and security agencies.”
