Flag Falls As Sonia Gandhi Tries To Unfurl It On Congress’ Big Day

New Delhi: 

The Congress flag fell from the pole as party president Sonia Gandhi tried to unfurl it on the party’s 137th foundation day celebrations today.

A video that has started circulating shows Sonia Gandhi tugging at the rope when a Congress worker, trying to help, gives it a hard yank that brings down the flag.

Later, Sonia Gandhi and a few other Congress leaders like Pawan Bansal and KC Venugopal held the party flag and displayed it briefly.

A Congress worker climbed up the post using a ladder to string the flag properly.

Senior Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Mallikarjun Kharge were among those present for the celebration
