August 15, 2015 15:50

Punjab minister Bikram Singh Majithia was left red-faced when he unfurled the national flag upside down at an Independence Day function in Amritsar.

Two policemen, including an inspector, were suspended for negligence and a senior officer was asked for an explanation. Majithia did not notice the faux pas immediately. He went on to address the gathering and it was only after he returned to his seat on the stage that mediapersons pointed out about the flag being upside down. He immediately asked local officials to rectify the mistake and probe the matter.
