The flag of the Majlis Bachao Tehreek (Movement Save Majlis), an Islamic political party in Andhra Pradesh, India, can be seen at http://mbt.8m.com//mbt123.html. MBT is a breakaway group of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen.

The page http://mbt.8m.com//mbt123.html shows a flag in this photo. It includes a candidate's name (Vizarat Rasool Khan) on the bottom edge of a red (?) flag with a white (?) "Pakistan type" crescent and star at the upper fly with six additional star from 10 o'clock to 4 o'clock around it and "MBT" vertically on the hoist.

image from The Hindu Images

The caption on the web page relates: Flags in various hues and colours, with their symbols, belonging to the Democratic Peoples Alliance partners of Tamil Nadu for the ensuing parliamentary election, the dates for which are yet to be announced by the Election Commission, being displayed at the Saidapet Panagal Building in Chennai, on February 24, 2004.

The interesting flag here is the blue-yellow-red tricolour between the DMK black/red and the H&S of the CPI(M) which from this site can be determined to be the
flag of the PMK, Pattali Makkal Katchi, a Tamil Nadu party based in the Vanniyar community.
