Digital Desk: Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankar hoisted the national flag at the "Gaj Dwar" in the new Parliament building on Sunday, just one day before the Special Session of Parliament.
Union ministers Piyush Goyal, Pralhad Joshi, and Arjun Ram Meghwal attended the ceremony, along with Speaker of the Lok Sabha Om Birla and leaders from various political parties.
In a letter to Rajya Sabha General Secretary Pramod Chandra Mody, Kharge noted that he received that invite “quite late in the evening” and expressed “dissatisfaction” over the matter.
“Dear P C Mody ji, I am writing this letter with a sense of disappointment that I have received your invite for the flag hoisting function tomorrow at the New Parliament Building only on 15 September 2023 quite late in the evening. Since the programmes had been fixed much in advance. I am presently in Hyderabad to hold the meetings. As I will return to Delhi late night on September 17, it will not be feasible for me to attend the function scheduled for tomorrow morning," Kharge said in his letter.
From September 18 to 22, there will be a five-day Special Session of Parliament. Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi previously announced that there would be five sittings.
