US Census Bureau Posts Indian Flag While Wishing Pakistan On Its Independence Day

Pakistan celebrated its 74th Independence Day on Friday, the US Census Bureau posted a photo of the Indian flag while wishing India's neighbour on Twitter. Twitterati were up in arms after the post. One user commented, "Technically Pakistan Independence Day is incorrect. Pakistan was never a country pre-1947. It was carved out of India by Muslim leaders through bloodshed & brutality. It should be called Pakistan creation day (sic)."

Why would India want to take over a failed nation?

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday unfurled the Tricolour at the Red Fort and addressed the nation amid COVID-19 induced new norms after paying tribute at the Raj Ghat on the occasion of 74th Independence Day.

They've fixed it now. lol

OTOH, why is the Census Bureau even putting out a press release on the Independence Day of another country? Don't they have better things to do?

Like counting persons in the US?
