New Delhi: Stirring up a controversy, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Harish Khurana on Wednesday posted a picture on Twitter, claiming that the Indian flag fluttering atop the office of Delhi minister Kailash Gahlot was ‘incorrect’. In a tweet posted on Wednesday, the BJP leader asked Aam Aadmi Party government’s minister to take immediate steps to rectify the error and raise the correct version of the flag.

In a tweet, Khurana, who is the son of former Delhi chief minister Madan Lal Khurana, wrote, “This is Delhi government’s minister Kailash Gahlot’s office. Just take a look at the Indian flag on top of it. Mantri ji, at least show some respect to our National Flag.” He further added, “Please rectify the error immediately. The National Flag belongs to all. It should be shown due respect.”

Along with the tweet, Khurana posted a picture of what is apparently the office of Kailash Gahlot where an ‘upside down’ flag could be seen atop the building. Instead of following the pattern of saffron, white and green colours, the flag in the picture has the pattern wrong as the colour green is on the top, followed by white and saffron. Times Now does not vouch for the authenticity of the photograph tweeted by Khurana.

Incidentally, it was Khurana who had tweeted the photo of Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken and his party colleague Arvinder Singh Lovely having food on a day when the Congress party had observed a nation-wide fast to protest atrocities against Dalits and reported incidents of communal violence in India. The party had organised the fast on April 9. Khurana had tweeted, “Wow our Congress leaders, they invited people to join the hunger strike, but they themselves are relishing chhole bhature at a restaurant … clearly befooling (people).”
