The Supreme Court on Monday sought a reply from the Centre on the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by Uttar Pradesh Shia Waqf Board chairman Wasim Rizvi seeking a ban on green flags with crescent and star that resembles national flag of Pakistan.
On April 17, Rizvi filed a petition in the apex court demanding a ban on the flag in India. He termed it "un-Islamic".
In his petition, Rizvi claimed that the flag which is identical to the flag of Pakistan creates communal strife when hoisted in Muslim areas.
