|September 17, 2023
After Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu attended the G20 dinner, a section of senior leaders within the Congress have been unhappy with his decision, indicating that he should have refused to attend after the main leader of the largest Opposition party (Congress) and Leader of Opposition (LOP) in Rajya Sabha (Malikarjun Kharge) was not invited for the dinner.
However, Chief Minister Sukhu clarified his attendance in the event on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). He wrote, "Had the privilege of addressing the grave aftermath of torrential rains in Himachal Pradesh during my conversation with Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji after our G20 summit dinner. I also requested a special disaster relief package and emphasized the need to designate this calamity as a 'national disaster,' highlighting the urgency of the situation."
