Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had asked Aam Aadmi Party minister Atishi to hoist the tricolor in his place on the occasion of Independence Day, which has been rejected by the General Administration Department. It has become clear from this reply of the department that the letter written by Gopal Rai regarding hoisting the flag has no meaning. The department has clarified that the rules for the programs of 15 August and 26 January are already in force and there will be no change in them. Preparations for 15 August are going on at Chhatrashal Stadium. Now the LG office will decide who will hoist the flag.
Gopal Rai wrote a letter
Let us tell you that Gopal Rai has written in his letter that he has met CM Kejriwal and the CM wants him to hoist the tricolor on the occasion of Independence Day this time. The General Administration Department said that CM Kejriwal cannot give any written or oral order from jail. So it will not be valid. When the CM office was informed about the incident of 15 August, the reply received was that the CM is still in jail.
The department has responded to this
The General Administration Department wrote in its reply that we have brought this matter to the notice of the higher authority as to who will hoist the flag in Delhi. Their reply is awaited. That is, now the department has asked the LG office about this. According to sources, the LG office will accept any suggestion from the Union Home Ministry in this regard. This means that now the Union Home Ministry will decide who will hoist the flag in Delhi on 15 August.
