On the tableau of the Republic Day, this time the dispute is increasing. After rejecting the proposal of the tableau of West Bengal, today the Ministry of Defense has released the list of 22 tableaux to be included in the parade. These include several states ruled by opposition parties including Maharashtra, Kerala, Jharkhand, and Puducherry.
After the cancellation of the proposals of these states,
there is a sharp political reaction. The NCP has criticized this decision of
the central government by tweeting many from its official Twitter handle.
Supriya Sule has described the move as an injury to Maharashtra’s pride.
At the same time, the Law Minister of Kerala AK Balan has
also called the decision of the Central Government inspired by political
vendetta. Opposition parties allege that the central government deliberately
excluded states where the ruling parties are opposing the Citizenship Amendment
Act and the proposed NRC. Yesterday, the Trinamool Congress also accused the
Modi government. Trinamool MP Saugata Roy had said that the central government
took this step in view of his party’s performance. He called it an injury on
Bengali Asmita.
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut also questioned the intention of the government. On the decision to keep Maharashtra out of the parade, including West Bengal, he said, “You have to tell why the proposal of the tableaux of these two states was rejected? The Chief Minister of Maharashtra should get the matter investigated. It should be investigated that Who is responsible? Are there some elements whose allegiance is to the previous government? “
On the other hand, the government claims that many BJP and NDA-ruled states have also not found a place in it. Uttarakhand and Bihar are also out of this list. According to the government, a total of 56 proposals were received by the Ministry of Defense in this regard, out of which it has approved 22. Tableaux from 16 states and union territories will be shown in the parade, while 6 tableaux will belong to the central ministries. The prairies of Bihar, West Bengal, Maharashtra, and Kerala have been rejected.
Only Assam and Meghalaya have got a place in the list from the northeastern states, while only Kerala is excluded from the states of South India. Tableaux from Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Telangana will be included in the Republic Day Parade.
These 6 central
ministries got space
Talking of the central ministries, the tableaux of the Ministry of Finance, Department of Drinking Water and Toilet, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Home Affairs, Union Ministry of Urban Development and Ministry of Shipping have also been included in the Republic Parade.
