Protocol Controversy Hits Republic Day !

The Republic Day celebrations witnessed a protocol controversy as Congress leaders raised objections over the seating arrangement of Rahul Gandhi and Congress leader Shashi Tharoor. Both leaders were allotted seats in the third row, which Congress claims violates protocol.

Congress leaders allege that the move was intentional, disrespecting senior opposition leaders. They further criticized the government for not providing the customary honors usually given to opposition leaders, including the respect accorded to central ministers, sparking political debate during the national celebrations.
