In a bizarre report by a Pakistani daily, Daily Pakistan, published on their website in which they claimed that when one searches for "Namak Haram Country" on Google, it shows India's flag.

Stooping low in their act, the website says, "Like majority of Pakistanis, the US-based tech giant considers India as a "Namak Haram country'. "

Reports suggest that Pakistan media is trying to troll India with the image of it, however, it could either be a glitch or work of Pakistani hackers playing with the Search engine optimization (SEO).

'Namak Haraam' is one of India's most famous Hindi movies which stars Amitabh Bachchan and Rajesh Khanna in the leads.

The story is about a class war that divides two friends and considering it as a classic film in India, it still remains one of the finest movies of India.

So when, a person types the word country after the name of the movie, Google will show the flag and the map of the country where the movie was made.
