Digital Desk: In a major goof-up, Bhabesh Kalita, the party president of the Assam unit, unfurled the national flag in an inverted manner at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) headquarters in Guwahati on Tuesday.
While the nation is commemorating the 77th anniversary of Independence Day by hoisting the tricolor at residences, workplaces, and other locations, BJP state president Bhabesh Kalita raised the flag without knowing it was upside down.
However, later it was fixed after they noticed that it had been hoisted in an inverted manner.
