"Flag Toh Design Ho Nahi Paata, Kashmir Lene Chale Hai," read the article

In a futile attempt to point out an error in the Pakistani flag, leading Indian online news portal ScoopWhoop posted an article titled “In 69 Years Of Independence, Has Nobody Noticed This Glaring Error In Pakistan’s National Flag?” on Saturday.

The website claimed that there was a "scientific inaccuracy" in the flag as the star is positioned incorrectly.

ScoopWhoop points out the "error" using a red circle and arrow 

The article read: “We’re not saying that we’re better than Pakistan but we’ll let the results of different wars between the two countries decide that. We can also use the head-to-head stats in Cricket World Cups but we’re better than that.

Flag Toh Design Ho Nahi Paata, Kashmir Lene Chale Hai!”

Surprisingly though, ScoopWhoop's own readers took offense to the ridiculous post, lashing out at the website for disrespecting the Pakistani flag and unneccessarily dragging Kashmir into the mix.
