AAP accuses Centre of discrimination as Delhi, Punjab tableaus get excluded from Republic Day parade
wrote, “This decision of the BJP government at the Centre shows how much poison is in their hearts against Punjabis." “Today, the value of the martyrdom of Punjabis by the BJP government at the Centre has been presented to 3 crore Punjabis through the media. This time again the tableau of Punjab was not included in the 26th January parade...we sent 3 subjects...1. History of Martyrs of Punjabis 2.
History of Mai Bhago Ji 3. Priceless heritage of Punjab," he added. BJP leader Harjeet Grewal alleges that AAP's narrative around this rejection is misleading and based on false allegations.
Grewal insists that tableaus failing to meet specific criteria are rightfully omitted. He urged AAP to disclose the exact reasons for the tableau's exclusion. "There is a committee to select the tableaus and there are some set parameters, which have to be met.
If a tableau doesn't meet the set parameters, it is rejected. I think that the Aam Aadmi Party tries to mislead people and make false accusations against the centre. They should come up with the details on why it was rejected," ANI quoted him as saying.
