Independence Day 2024: The controversy that started in the capital Delhi regarding hoisting the tricolor on the special occasion of Independence Day is continuously increasing. The General Administration Department of the Delhi Government has refused to implement Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s instructions, in which he stated that Minister Atishi would hoist the flag in his place on August 15. In response to Minister Gopal Rai’s letter, the General Administration Department clarified that they will organize the program this time in accordance with the established rules for the events scheduled on 15 August and 26 January. The rule remains unchanged.
On Independence Day, CM wants Atishi to hoist the tricolor flag.
Recently, Gopal Rai wrote a letter to the General Administration Department, instructing Atishi to hoist the tricolor flag during the Independence Day program. Gopal Rai had written in his letter that he had recently met Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal inside the jail. On Independence Day this year, CM wants Atishi to hoist the tricolor flag on the occasion of Independence Day this time. The controversy began as soon as this letter was made public. Opposition leaders have begun to corner the AAP party.
The Chief Minister is unable to issue a written or oral order from jail.
After receiving Gopal Rai’s letter, the General Administration Department replied to it and said that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal cannot give any kind of written or oral order from inside the jail. Even if he does, it will be invalid. The General Administration Department has brought the matter of who will hoist the flag in Delhi on Independence Day to the attention of the higher authority. According to media reports, the department wrote a letter to the LG office asking about this. In this regard, the LG office has sought recommendations from the Union Home Ministry.
The Home Ministry’s instructions will guide the organization of the program.
The Home Ministry’s instructions will guide the organization of the program. This implies that the Union Home Ministry, not Kejriwal, will determine who will raise the flag on August 15 in Delhi this time.
