Soni unfurling Tricolour has several ‘connotations’!

New Delhi: How was it decided that Ambika Soni would hoist the flag on the occasion of Independence Day at Congress Headquarters? Was it decided after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech from Red Fort that Ambika Soni will hoist the flag or was it already decided? Keep in mind that the PM had made a big attack on dynasty in his speech from the Red Fort. He appealed to the people to end dynastic rule. Apart from this, he had talked about giving women power and giving them opportunities. That’s why many people are saying that after his speech it was decided that neither Rahul nor Priyanka Gandhi will hoist the flag and some woman should be given this opportunity. That is why Ambika Soni’s name was decided.

But this is not the reality. In fact, Congress President Sonia Gandhi had already decided that Ambika Soni would hoist the flag. Sonia herself is infected with the corona virus. Rahul is also infected and Priyanka got infected a few days ago. Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha and senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge is also battling corona and is in Karnataka. So it was decided a day before that some other senior leader would unfurl the flag. Usually this work is done by AK Antony, but after announcing his retirement from politics, he has gone to Kerala. There was a speculation that either Ghulam Nabi Azad or Mukul Wasnik or Pawan Bansal would hoist the flag. But considering the loyalty of the family, Ambika Soni was selected. Surprisingly, both Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi attended the flag hoisting ceremony. Rahul being the former president, he could have hoisted the flag but he has given many messages at once by giving a chance to Ambika Soni. He has also given a message not to become the president again, then he has also given a message to bring women forward.
