Controversies	In September 2015, Chef Vikas Khanna inadvertently became a part of a controversy when he asked PM Narendra Modi to autograph the National Flag, to which the PM obliged gladly. Writing anything on the National Flag is considered as a violation of the Indian Flag code. Following the controversy, an official statement released by the government banished all such claims by saying that the cloth which PM had signed was a piece of art crafted by Khanna's physically challenged adopted daughter and was not the National Flag.
