Last night (August 16) the Pakistani flag was displayed on Burj Khalifa.
The display marked Pakistan's Independence day which was on August 14th. However, the display seems to have angered the Pakistani community who say that the flag was displayed upside down.
The Pakistani association in Dubai have even written to Emaar and Burj Khalifa expressing this sentiment.
There has been no comment from Emaar or Burj Khalifa on this matter yet.
Dear @BurjKhalifa @emaardubai

The first picture is from yesterday and the second one is from March 2017.
Please look at the placement of the flag. Yesterday’s portrayal of the flag has hurt the sentiments of many Pakistanis.
