In an embarrassment for India, the Indian tricolour was seen hoisted upside down during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s photo-op with Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe, before the bilateral talks on the sidelines of the ASEAN Summit.

It was an inadvertent mistake in the rush of things. It was unfortunate.

The national flag was in the background of Prime Minister Modi and Abe’s customary handshake at the Summit and was hoisted on a stand next to that of Japan.

The flag is seen with the green at the top and the saffron below.

PIB’s Photoshop Wonder

The Press Information Bureau, however, pulled some magic and released this image where everything seems to be in order and the tricolour is the right side up. Looks like some photoshop skills went into that piece of work.

Not bad PIB. Not bad at all.

Modi is visiting Malaysia on a three-day visit, during which he will attend two high-profile meetings at the ASEAN - India and East Asia Summits, besides addressing the Indian diaspora tomorrow.
