Stupid Person Hoisted The Indian National Flag Upside Down At The ASEAN Summit

 In a huge insult to the country, an inverted national flag was hoisted in ASEAN summit by the organisers.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a meeting scheduled with Japanese PM Shinzo Abe. As per tradition, flags of both the nations were hoisted.

Japanese PM had reached before PM Modi. As soon as he saw the flag, he noticed something amiss. For many minutes, he tried to find out what was wrong in the flag.

However, when PM Modi reached the venue, he failed to notice the inverted flag as he went ahead and shook hands with the Japanese PM. Later on, officials noticed the blooper and notified the organisers.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi met his Japanese counterpart who said Indo-Japan ties have the greatest potential of any bilateral relationship in the world.

The two leaders met on the sidelines of 13th ASEAN-India Summit here in the Malaysian capital.

But what's even more embarrassing was that our Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, gingerly walked onto the podium where our flag was hoisted along with the Japanese flag (guess you can't go wrong with that), and shook hands with Japanese PM Shinzo Abe as if nothing was wrong with the picture.
