Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's letter to Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena regarding Independence Day is a "breach of privilege" and has not been sent to him, Tihar jail authorities have said. The Chief Minister has been advised to "desist from any such impermissible activity" or his privileges would be curtailed, reports said.
Mr Kejriwal wrote to the Lieutenant Governor last week, saying in his stead, Delhi minister Aatishi will hoist the flag on August 15.
Environment Minister Gopal Rai made the formal announcement about this today. "As per the decision of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Cabinet Minister Atishi will hoist the Tricolour in his absence on August 15," read the notification by the Delhi government shared by AAP.
