The appearance of an Indian flag in Washington, DC at a pro-Trump rally, and the risibly Pavlovian manner in which the left-liberal
jamaat jumped so spontaneously to puerile conclusions over it, offer instructive insights.
The American parliamentary confirmation of Democrat Joe Bidenâs election as their next president was held at Capitol Hill in Washington, DC on 6 January.
The formality was marred by large-scale protests outside the building, by crowds waving banners and flags. They, like millions of Republicans, believed that Biden had won by a combination of vote-bank politics and electoral irregularities and were intent on volubly showing their disfavour towards the verdict.
Solo Indian Flag at Capitol Hill Rally Sparks Political Spat in India
NEW DELHI A lone Indian national flag seen amid the many American flags on Capitol Hill on Jan. 6 sparked an online spat between two Indian politicians, while netizens reacted and took sides in the discussion.
An Indian American named Vincent Xavier Palathingal, a Republican Party member who attended the rally because he believes the U.S. presidential election was fraudulent, was seen carrying the flag, the Indian news website The Quint reported.
Palathingal said he attended to show that the United States isn’t a racist country and respects diversity, he told New Delhi Television (NDTV). However, the image of the Indian flag triggered a debate between two noted politicians of the ruling and the opposition parties.
A complaint has been filed at Delhi Kalkaji Police Station on Friday against Vincent Xavier, an Indian national who carried the Indian flag to the US Capitol
