Omar Abdullah calls upside-down flag a mistake, BJP demands action

India has a special flag called the Tricolour with three colourful stripes, and there are rules about how to hold it — the orange stripe must always be on top.

A leader named Mehbooba Mufti was at a peaceful protest and held the flag the wrong way, with the orange stripe at the bottom.

Some people were upset because showing the flag upside down breaks the rules.

The protest was about the Indian government taking away special rules that the region of Jammu and Kashmir used to have.

Some government leaders were very angry and asked for punishment, and one leader even called Mehbooba a harsh name.

Her party said that was unfair and that she had been treated badly.

Another leader, Omar Abdullah, said he believes she did not do it on purpose and that it was probably just a mistake.

People from her own party said the photo was taken at a bad moment, before she could hold the flag properly.

Now, officials are checking whether any punishment is needed, but no decision has been made yet.
