This comes just a day after Pakistanis created ruckus in Dubai. A video that went viral from Dubai showed hundreds of Pakistanis fuming after the Burj Khalifa did not display the Pakistan flag. The video showed huge crowds of Pakistani nationals waiting near the Burj Khalifa during midnight as they expected that it will be lit up with the colours of their national flag. However, to their disappointment, this did not happen.

However, it must be noted that the Pakistan flag was, in fact, displayed at the Burj Khalifa, a video of which was shared on social media platforms including Meta’s Instagram by the iconic structure’s official pages.

The video was accompanied by a caption that read:

“#BurjKhalifa lights up to celebrate The Islamic Republic of Pakistan’s Independence Day. Wishing the people of Pakistan a day filled with pride, unity and prosperity as you celebrate the rich heritage and achievements of your great nation. May the future hold even greater success and happiness for all Pakistanis. Happy Independence Day!"

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation from the Red Fort on the occasion of India’s 77th Independence Day. The PM began his speech by addressing the countrymen as parivarjan. He said that India is celebrating the festival of democracy. Shortly into the speech, the PM touched upon the violence in Manipur. He also talked about our economy and paid many tributes.
