The incident happened at an event to mark the party's 137th foundation day at AICC headquarters
The Congress tricolour fell off the flagpole on Tuesday, December 28, 2021, morning as party president Sonia Gandhi tried to unfurl it to mark the party's 137th foundation day at AICC headquarters here.
Keeping the presence of mind, Ms. Gandhi along with party treasurer Pawan Bansal and AICC general secretary K.C. Venugopal held the party tricolour in their hand and displayed it briefly.
A Congress worker later climbed up the flagpole to string the party tricolour.

“Through several targeted attacks against the minorities in the name of religion, the BJP and the Sangh Parivar organisations are on a mission to fragment the State into religious segments,” said Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) leader and MP Thol. Thirumavalavan. He headed the protest organised by VCK here on Monday against the BJP and Sangh Parivar organisation for inciting violence based on religion. Speaking there, he said, “The RSS’s plan is specifically to turn Hindus into paupers and the Sangh Parivar organisations through intimidating the minorities, have been trying to incite communal frenzy in the State.”
