Facts Check Analysis

According to our investigation the green flag shown in the video is not Pakistan nation flag but if you browse and see the video you can find it is   IUML (Indian Union Muslim league) flag, which is different from the flag of Pakistan. Many times people get confused and make false claim. There are differences in Pakistan and IUML flag.

 

 The Pakistani flag has a white band on the left side. Also, there is a difference in the colour and the angle of the crescent in both flags.

The green represents Islam and the majority of Muslims in Pakistan and the white stripe represents religious minorities and minority religions. In the center, the crescent and star symbolize progress and light respectively. The flag symbolizes Pakistan's commitment to Islam and the rights of religious minorities.

 It is associated with the flag used by the All-India Muslim League as an emblem of its aim of achieving an independent Muslim state. Their flag was green, with a central white star and crescent.

The Muslim Youth League (MYL) leaders have come out with the suggestion that the party, which they believe is set to make a major foray into the north Indian states, must rework on the flag, especially the “Pakistani” effect on it.
