Surat Saree Makers Make Army-Themed Sarees After Pulwama and Balakot Strikes But Use Images of US Army! Check Funny Tweets
With the elections nearby, this could well be called election fashion?
The 2019 elections are nearing and sarees with political figures on them have already started hitting the markets. But in light of the recent events, a lot of people are filled with patriotic fervour and pride about the army. So one of the saree-making centres in Surat decided to make sarees with army prints on it. The Pulwama attack, followed by India's retaliation with Balakot air strike and the return of IAF Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman from Pakistan, the series of events have led to people feeling all patriotic and proud about the nation. So it was assumed that sarees with army prints on it would get a good demand. But it was later realised, the saree prints have used the US Army image and not the Indian army. It has indeed become a faux pas when a Twitter user pointed it out. After 'Modi Saree', Rahul & Priyanka Gandhi-Printed Sarees Flood Gujarat and Mumbai Markets Ahead of 2019 Lok Sabha Elections.
