I don’t understand that why they wrapped Sridevi in TRICOLOR, that honour is for our realife heroes who sacrificed their lives for us.
She was only an actress. I dont want to hurt anyone, its my point of view. I respect her but she should not b wrapped in TRICOLOR. pic.twitter.com/3PU1pJ41de— Satyam (@saty24t) February 28, 2018
Why is Sridevi body wrapped in Tricolor, violation of Flag code of India. This dilutes the value of state funeral which is reserved for state/Military/Central Paramilitary Forces funerals. #sridevi#sridevifuneral

Reportedly, the Maharashtra government decided to give Sridevi full state honors during her last journey. Sridevi was honored with Padma Shri in 2013 and was among the greatest personalities of Indian Cinema ever. Hence it was the decision of state government itself to give her a legendary farewell.
