The flag hoisting ceremony at the BJP Headquarters to mark India\u2019s 72nd Independence Day did not quite go as per plan. As soon as the BJP President Amit Shah pulled the string, the national flag came crashing to the ground. Though Shah ultimately managed to hoist the flag, the embarrassing moment was not only broadcasted live but also tweeted by Doordarshan.  The clip is viral on social media and has been shared by opposition parties to mock Shah and BJP. For critics of BJP, it was poetic justice that this embarrassing incident should happen to the President of a party that flaunts its nationalist credentials and whose supporters spend their time on social media outraging about real and imaginary insults to the national flag and national anthem.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Amit Shah drops the tricolour\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/285087685?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This awkward mishap could happen to anyone. But interestingly, Doordarshan\u2019s tweets with video clips of the incident have gone missing. Yes, India\u2019s Public Broadcaster, Doordarshan has decided to cover-up Amit Shah\u2019s flag blooper and deleted two tweets.<\/p>\n<p>The deleted tweets carried a video of the incident along with the text, \u201c<em>BJP President @AmitShah unfurls the national flag at party headquarters in Delhi.<\/em>\u201d A. Surya Prakash, Chairman, Prasar Bharati and Shashi Shekhar, CEO Prasar Bharti were tagged on the tweets.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/08\/Selection_15_08_2018_007.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"965\" height=\"193\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18122\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/08\/Selection_15_08_2018_007.jpg 965w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/08\/Selection_15_08_2018_007-300x60.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/08\/Selection_15_08_2018_007-768x154.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/08\/Selection_15_08_2018_007-696x139.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 965px) 100vw, 965px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of the deleted tweets were also quote-tweeted by multiple people.

It is interesting to note that even though BJP didn\u2019t consider it necessary to delete the tweet, Doordarshan felt a need for self-censorship. The tweet and the video were still available on BJP site at the time of writing the article.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">LIVE : Shri <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AmitShah?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@AmitShah<\/a> unfurls the National Flag at BJP Head Office, New Delhi. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IndependenceDayIndia?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IndependenceDayIndia<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1PVqboiEOA\">https:\/\/t.co\/1PVqboiEOA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; BJP (@BJP4India) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BJP4India\/status\/1029578690940743680?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 15, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is not the first time that an Indian media house has tried to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/indian-medias-attempts-cover-faux-pas-pm-modis-speech-davos\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">cover-up<\/a> the faux pas of a BJP leader.

This self-censorship by Doordarshan raises questions about why the public broadcaster felt the need to erase BJP President\u2019s embarrassing moment from public memory.
