On August 15, which happens to be India’s Independence Day, Burj Khalifa lights up with the colours of our national flag. Seems like Pakistanis expected the same on their Independence Day and were disappointed when it did not happen they were very disappointed. A video which 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 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.
Frustrated by this, people started using slogans like ‘Pakistan Zindabad.’ The woman who is recording the entire incident can be heard saying,“”The time is 12:01 am now and the Dubai officials have informed that Pakistan’s national flag won’t be displayed on Burj Khalifa. This has become our status now.” She further added, “All the Pakistani nationals here can be seen sloganeering, yet the Pakistan flag hasn’t been displayed on the Burj Khalifa. So sad, they’ve played a prank on all the Pakistanis.”
Here is the viral video:
