Did Chris Martin Insult The Indian Flag? NCP Leader Thinks So

The Coldplay frontman had the Indian flag tucked in his back pocket at one point of the performance.

NCP leader Nawab Malik has alleged that Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, who performed in Mumbai on Saturday at the Global Citizen Festival, has disrespected the Indian flag. Malik took to social media to draw attention to images and video clips showing the Indian flag tucked in Martin’s back pocket during the performance.

Poor Martin. Somebody should have told him that no matter how unnoticed these things go in other countries - look at the pictures below - it won’t in India.
