Kashmir is back in the focus, and this time it's thanks to the Bharatiya Janata Party's yatra to Srinagar to hoist the national flag at Lal Chowk on Republic Day.
Naturally, there's been high drama over this. On Sunday a train-load of BJP activists were shunted back and on Monday the party's top brass found its wings clipped by the Jammu and Kashmir government after they landed at Srinagar airport to lead the yatra.
With over 5000 central paramilitary forces being deployed to prevent a flare-up in the Valley, the situation is fraught with possibilities, with the prime minister down everyone appealing to the BJP not to do anything that will rupture the fragile peace in the Kashmir Valley.
Is the issue only about hoisting the tricolour, or is the BJP out to gain political mileage out of the issue? Do you think there is a danger of the lull breaking if the BJP went ahead with its plans? Should the party go ahead with its tiranga yatra, or call it off?
