Anti-terrorist leader displays National Flag with 32 spokes; apologises
When it comes to the National Flag, you'd better get your counting correct.

Let me help you: MS Bitta with Rukhsana Kausar at a press conference in New Delhi on Tuesday |
On Tuesday, Bitta, the chairman of the All-India Anti-Terrorist Front (AIATF), organised a media meet to praise the courage of Rukhsana, the young girl from Jammu and Kashmir, who axed an LeT militant to death.
While Bitta spoke at length about Rukhsana's feat, not forgetting to highlight his own achievements as a 'nationalist' in between, he failed to notice a blunder in the National Flag displayed prominently on the podium behind him. The life-size flag had an 'unpatriotic' blotch: the navy blue Chakra at its centre had a few extra spokes. Instead of the stipulated 24, Bitta's flag had 32 spokes.
