On digging further, we did find reports from 2017 where it was stated that Uttar Pradesh government had issued advisories to UP Madrasas to hoist National Flag on Independence Day and share videos of celebration.

The same advisories were circulated on Independence Day in 2018, 2019.

We further scanned through the Official Twitter handle of the Office of Chief Minister, Uttar Pradesh, and the office hasn’t posted anything close to the above statement.
