Andrabi, however, told The Indian Express that unfurling the flag was a routine thing from the past 35 years.
“This is a political gimmick and frustration. This is a routine for us from the past 35 years and I have done nothing wrong by unfurling the flag and singing the Pakistan’s national anthem now,” she said. “Our leaders go to Delhi to celebrate it, but I always celebrate it on my own soil.”
