On Independence Day, BJP chief Amit unfurling the national flag that fell as he pulled the string went viral on social media.
Taking a dig at the flag falling incident at the BJP headquarters on Independence Day on Wednesday, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said it reflected that "Bharat Mata" is "sad", and added that no matter how strong, one has to bow down before nature.
Kejriwal's reaction came after a video showing BJP chief Amit unfurling the national flag that fell as he pulled the string went viral on social media.
"Nature works in strange ways. No matter how strong one is, he has to bow down before nature. The tricolour refused to be unfurled at the hands of Amit Shah. Bharat Mata is saying through this flag that she is sad," he tweeted in Hindi.
Earlier during the day, sharing the video on Twitter Congress took a dig at BJP saying that how will the party handle a country if they cannot handle a flag.
"Those who cannot handle the flag, how will they handle the country? If those people who have treated the flag with contempt for over 50 years had not done so, the flag would not have been insulted like it was today," the party said.
Those that give "certificates of patriotism" to people, do not know the etiquettes of the national anthem, the Congress said.
On August 15, BJP President Amit Shah, Congress President Rahul Gandhi, and RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat unfurled the tricolour after Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered his fifth speech at the Red Fort.
Earlier, children jostled to shake hands with Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he sidestepped his security cover to greet them after his Independence Day address to the nation from the Red Fort today.
After delivering an over 80 minute speech from the ramparts of the historic monument, he waved to the crowd and moved to his motorcade for departure. But, on his way out, he halted and broke from the security cordon to enter an enclosure where children welcomed him with loud cheers.
Dressed in colours of the national flag, the overwhelmed children jostled to catch a glimpse of the prime minister while those on the front rows even got an opportunity to shake hands with him.
