Delhi LG rejects Kejriwal's request on Atishi, nominates Kailash Gahlot to hoist tricolour on Independence Day

India TV News  

Independence Day 2024: Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena has declined Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's request for Cabinet Minister Atishi to hoist the tricolor on Independence Day, and has instead nominated Kailash Gahlot for the responsibility. In a letter to Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena last week, Kejriwal said cabinet minister Atishi would hoist the national flag during the Delhi government's Independence Day programme in his place. Also, the Tihar Jail authorities informed Kejriwal that his letter to Saxena saying Atishi would hoist the tricolour on Independence Day was "an abuse of privileges" granted to him under the Delhi Prison Rules. In a letter, he said, "It is absolutely clear that the above communication does not qualify in the permissible communication which can be sent outside prison…Any communication, written or oral, in contravention of the rules quoted above, is not legally valid and therefore cannot be acted upon.” The General Administration Department has also sought the convenience of the Delhi Chief Minister for his availability for the Independence Day Function.
