Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah on Wednesday dropped the national flag during flag hoisting ceremony at the party headquarter in New Delhi.

While a clumsy Shah failed to unfurl the tricolour properly, the host of Doordarshan News can be heard calling the act “disaster” as it was aired live.

Twitterati also reacted and slammed Shah:

Dear @AmitShah Your leader @narendramodi would always try and find omens in events When the flyover collapsed in Kolkata he said it was a bad omen for @AITCofficial Now when your newly made @BJP4India HQ has this, what does it mean?#IndependenceDay2018#IndependenceDayIndia pic.twitter.com/pRITVpX2i3 — Koomar Shah (@KoomarShah) August 15, 2018

BJP President Amit Shah dropped the tricolour to the ground at this morning’s ceremony at the BJP HQ. So clumsy. Politicians should be more careful with our flag. https://t.co/63MRoQki2t — Puja Mehra (@pujamehra) August 15, 2018
