Petition to Remove Advertisement Disrespecting Indian Flag at Parramatta Station

Sign this petition to demand the immediate removal of an advertisement disrespecting the Indian flag at Parramatta station in New South Wales (NSW).

An advertisement by the global money transfer service, Remitly, displaying the Indian flag on the floor of Parramatta station is unacceptable to the local Indian-origin community. 

We are outraged as thousands of people unknowingly walk over our beloved Indian flag daily. This is a grave disrespect and violation of the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971, and the Flag Code of India, 2002, which mandate that India’s flag must be treated with the utmost respect and cannot be placed on the floor or any location where it could be walked upon or subjected to disrespect.

Despite multiple attempts to contact Parramatta station officials, there has been no response. 

We have reached out to Remitly directly through LinkedIn. As of now, Remitly has not provided a detailed timeline for the ad’s removal or replacement, but their acknowledgment of the issue has offered some hope to the aggrieved community. 

Join us in urging both Remitly and Parramatta station officials to respect the Indian flag and immediately remove the offensive advertisement. Sign this petition to make your voice heard and protect the dignity of national symbols.
