“BJP National President Nitin Nabin hoisted the national flag upside down, disrespecting the tricolor.”

The claim originated from social media posts circulating around August 2026, alleging that BJP National President Nitin Nabin disrespected the Indian national flag by hoisting it upside down. Investigations by multiple independent fact-checking organizations, including Factly, PTI Fact Check, and news outlets like Rediff and Hindustan Times, have conclusively determined that the viral media was digitally altered. The original, unedited footage and photographs show Nabin hoisting the national flag correctly at his residence as part of the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign on August 13, 2026. The Delhi unit of the BJP filed a formal police complaint regarding the circulation of this 'fake' content, noting that the images were manipulated to portray the party and its leader in a negative light. There is no evidence to support the claim that the flag was hoisted incorrectly in reality.
