Indo-Pak Talks: Minor controversy over missing Indian flag

Sushma Swaraj's meeting with Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif came under some scrutiny when the tricolour was found missing from the backdrop, where both the leaders were sitting. Generally, whenever two leaders meet, the flags of both nations are displayed in the backdrop.

Earlier, the tricolour was hoisted upside down during PM Narendra Modi's photo with Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe before bilateral talks on the sidelines of the ASEAN summit in Kuala Lumpur. The missing national flag in Pakistan did not go down well with many Indians. Here's how they reacted on Twitter:

Why there is no Indian flag ?? #JumlaJayegaPakistan pic.twitter.com/CDkz3cl3P5

Protocol demands Indian flag only if the two were equals, I think. So PM and PM would have Indian flag. https://t.co/dqv2lsC1rx
