NEW DELHI: Amit Shah was left stumped when the flag, he was trying to hoist, during an event to mark India's Independence Day at BJP's HQ in Delhi, fell to the ground.Though the BJP president quickly realized his mistake and made a quick recovery, the damage had already been done.Congress was quick to pounce on Shah. "The people who can't handle the flag of the nation. How can they handle the nation?" the Congress party questioned as it tweeted a video of Amit Shah's faux pas."People who showed disdain for the tricolour for 50 years. Had they respected the flag, such incident wouldn't have happened," it added.In its tweet, the Congress, without naming the BJP, said that people who are so eager to dole out certificates of nationalism, do not even know how to respect the national anthem.Congress spokesperson Randeep S Surjewala too said that people did not unfurl the tricolour for 52 years, they are the same people who disrespecting the tricolour by dropping it.Later, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal , too, slammed the BJP president for the flag incident.The chief minister was of the opinion that 'nature' was behind the Shah's flag incident."See, even the tricolour refused to be unfurled at the hands of Amit Shah. Bharat Mata is trying to convey a message through this tricolour, i.e. she is sad," Kejriwal added.
