The absence of Rahul-Khadge in the celebrations in Independence Day, Congress said this while submitting explanation

When Prime Minister Narendra Modi raised the flag on Independence Day, there was no great leader of the main congress at the opposition party there. This is the first time since the independence that the opposition leaders of both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were absent from the main function held on the Independence Day. On a question related to this in the debate of AAJ branch, Dangal shows, the spokesman for Congress, Dr. Ajay Upadhyay, said that the position of leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha was in the next line to the Prime Minister and it has the status of Cabinet Minister. He said that from Jawaharlal Nehru to Manmohan Singh, who was the government in power, was the tradition. The Congress spokesman said that every party whose leader was the leader of the opposition was in the next line. At the occasion of Independence Day last year, when Rahul Gandhi became the leader of the opposition, he sat in the last line. He said that both Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge are in constitutional positions. Ajay Upadhyay said it is a matter of dignity of the constitutional post. This is not a matter of a particular person. He said it was not a case of Rahul Gandhi or from Mallikarjun Kharge. Ajay Upadhyay said that if it is done with a person sitting in a constitutional post, it is a violation of the dignity of the Constitution. He said that both of these people celebrated the national festival, raised the national flag and that the prime minister wanted to politicize the issue to avoid violating dignity. It should not be politicized. The BJP surrounded the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesman RP Singh last year and the argument to sit in the last line and said, “Did you notice where the seat was held today?” Earlier, the spokesman for the BJP Shahzad Poonawala responded to the absence of the leader of the opposition during the Independence Day celebrations held at the Red Fort, saying that the post of leader of the opposition is a constitutional position and that it is his constitutional duty to attend the opportunity.
