Kharge's Absence at Flag Hoisting Event in New Parliament Building Raises Questions

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has declined the invitation to attend the flag hoisting event in the new Parliament building on September 17, citing disappointment over receiving the invite late. Kharge, who is currently in Hyderabad for Congress Working Committee meetings scheduled for September 16 and 17, stated that it would not be feasible for him to attend the function. The flag hoisting ceremony will be conducted by Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar a day before the five-day Parliament session commences.
