Rajasthan BJP chief apologises over wrong Vande Mataram tune
In India, people celebrate Independence Day every year on August 15.
A big political group called the BJP held a special ceremony in a city called Jaipur.

But the sound team played the wrong version of the song by mistake.
Some important leaders standing on the stage looked upset about what happened.
A video of the mix-up was soon shared all over social media.
