Days after Pakistanis had a major meltdown as the Burj Khalifa did not display their Flag on their Independence Day, now sprinkling salt on the wounds of Pakistan, Burj Khalifa lit up in India’s tricolour on India’s Independence Day.
A video that is currently doing rounds on social media shows the world’s tallest building lit up as the Indian National Anthem, ‘Jana Gana Mana’, plays in the background.
The UAE-based building facade is known for lighting up the colours of the flag of the countries worldwide on special occasions such as Independence Day.
This just comes hours after, Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, skipped the illumination of the Pakistani national flag on the occasion of the country's Independence Day on August 14. Pakistanis who gathered near the building were left disappointed as the Burj Khalifa building which consists of 163 floors and dons the world's largest LED screens with an area of 32,400 square meters, did not light up with the Pakistani flag at 12 am.
A video that has surfaced on the internet from Dubai shows hundreds of Pakistanis fumed after the Burj Khalifa did not display the Pakistan flag at the stroke of midnight. The video shows huge crowds of Pakistani nationals waiting near the Burj Khalifa at midnight as they expected that it would be lit up with the colours of their national flag.
